Chicken and Edamame Soba Lo Mein

Chicken and Edamame Soba Lo Mein

My oldest, Ava came home from school yesterday all excited about how they celebrated the Chinese New Year by having Chinese food at lunch and eating with chop sticks!

That motivated me to make some Chicken Edamame Soba Lo Mein last night and pull out a pair of my chop sticks to make it a little more fun!!

A lot of times, I like to go into the kitchen...recipe free and just act like I am on that show Chopped on Food Network, so that is what went down!

Ingredients (makes 2 servings):

2 medium chicken breasts (about 5 ounces each)

3 cups of any frozen vegetable stir fry mix

1 cup of frozen shelled Edamame

4 ounces Buckwheat Soba noodles

3-4 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Amino Liquids (Bragg's)

3 Tablespoons Thai Chili Sauce (I used Wildtree Brand)

1 Tablespoon Sesame oil and a little dash for after

Directions:

In a large frying pan, add 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil.  Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch strips and add to the pan.  Cook until browned and mostly cooked through.  Add in vegetable stir fry mix and frozen edamame and cook until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.

In the meantime, bring some water to a boil and add the Buckwheat Soba noodles. Cook for only about 5-7 minutes (they do not take long to cook and don't over cook them or they become super mushy and not fun to eat!)

Add cooked noodles to the chicken vegetable pan and reduce to a low heat.  Add the Soy Sauce, Thai Chili Sauce and a little drizzle of Sesame Oil.  Mix all together and cook to heat through.  

Enjoy!!

This recipe is great because you can also use any fresh vegetables you may have in the place of the frozen stir fry mix. I have used peppers, zucchini, carrots...be creative!
