Ingredients

Scale

Lo Mein

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Jalapeño Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced

Lumpia

  • 1/2 lb ground pork or chicken
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1/2 cup cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 12 lumpia wrappers (or spring roll wrappers)
  • Oil, for frying

Cucumber Salad

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lo Mein: Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with sesame oil. Stir-fry garlic, carrots, and cabbage in a wok for 2–3 minutes. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Toss noodles into the pan until coated. Set aside.
  2. Make the Jalapeño Chicken: Marinate chicken in soy sauce and cornstarch for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a pan, sear chicken until golden. Stir in honey (or brown sugar), soy sauce, and rice vinegar to create a glaze. Add jalapeño slices, toss well, and simmer until glossy.
  3. Cook the Lumpia: In a skillet, cook ground meat with garlic until browned. Add carrots, cabbage, and soy sauce. Cook until veggies soften. Let cool slightly, then fill lumpia wrappers with 2 tbsp filling each. Roll tightly and seal edges with water. Fry until golden and crisp.
  4. Make the Cucumber Salad: Toss sliced cucumbers with rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
  5. Assemble the Plate: Place a bed of lo mein on the plate, top with jalapeño chicken, add crispy lumpia on the side, and finish with a small cucumber salad for freshness.

Notes

  • For more spice, use red chili flakes in the chicken glaze.
  • Lumpia can be prepped ahead and frozen before frying.
  • Swap pork with ground turkey for a lighter filling.
