Vegetable and Chicken Lo Mein Phase 3 FMD

Ingredients 

Makes 4 4oz protein servings

I did this recipe x 1 1/2 so it would work out for two 6 oz protein portions and two 4 oz portions

• 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil, toasted  (I used more)
• 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp Ginger Root, minced
• 1 lb Skinless Chicken Breast, cubed
• 1/2 cup Water Chestnuts  (not on FMD, so I used JICAMA that I cut in match sticks)
• 2 cup Broccoli, chopped  (I chop it pretty small)
• 1/2 cup Shiitake Mushrooms, stems removed and cut in half
• 1/4 cup Almonds, chopped  (I used cashew pieces)
• 1/4 cup Celery, chopped  (I chop it pretty small—not like the picture)
• 1/4 cup Green Onion, chopped
• 2 cup shredded Green Cabbage
• 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos  (I used more)
• 1 tsp Sesame Seeds  (I forgot these)
• Salt to taste

I served this over Annie Chun’s pad thai brown rice noodles.  YUM YUM YUM!  Can use tamari to flavor it, but I didn’t think it needed it. 

Process

1. Heat wok or skillet over high heat.
2. Add sesame oil, minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute to allow the flavors to infuse the oil.
3. Add chicken to the wok, and cook, stirring frequently for 3–4 minutes, or until the chicken is mostly cooked.  (I added the broccoli at about the 2 minute mark) (I also added about half of the coconut aminos at this point.)
4. Add in broccoli, water chestnuts, celery, and shiitake mushrooms; sauté for 2 minutes.
5. Add in almonds, cabbage, and green onion.
6. Pour in coconut aminos (2–4 tbsp).
7. Cook 2–3 minutes, until cabbage softens a little.
8. Remove from heat, and garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

Alternative protein options for this dish would be beef, bison, pork, or shrimp. All would be delicious!
