Chicken Chow Mein

Ingredients (4 servings):

  • A piece of fresh ginger root the size of your thumb (peeled and grated)
  • Optional: 1-2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
  • Coconut Amino Sauce (approximately ½ cup, but use your discretion)
  • 2 to 4 chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite sized pieces
  • Avocado or olive oil or chicken fat
  • 4 medium sized beets (bullseye or yellow) (spiralize)
  • 1-2 small to medium zucchini (spiralize)
  • 2 medium carrots (spiralize or cut into matchsticks)
  • Bean sprouts (if tolerated)
  • Chinese Cabbage cut into narrow strips (or one inch squares, whichever reminds you most of your favourite chow mein)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

In a wok or large pot, warm a bit of cooking fat, and half the ginger and garlic, a splash of coconut aminos, and salt to taste. Saute the chicken until cooked through. Set aside.

Add more oil, the rest of the ginger and garlic, and the veggie noodles and chopped vegetables. Add salt, pepper, and coconut aminos.

When the noodles have softened slightly (al dente, not mush), add back in the chicken, stir well, and serve.

**garlic could be added if desired.

** to spiralize is to cut into noodles using a device known as a spiralizer, or a julienne peeler.
