The 30-Minute Ultimate Spicy Chicken Lo Mein Recipe 

Instructions
Cook noodles as per package instructions and keep aside.
Marinate Chicken with ingredients mentioned.
Keep this aside for 5 mins
In a pan,add 1 Tbsp Sesame oil, then with pair of tongs pick each chicken piece and drop in the pan.
Discard if any leftover marinade.
Toss on medium flame till cooked,keep this aside.
In the same pan add 1 Tbsp Vegetable oil, add the ginger and garlic,fry till fragrant.
Do not burn the ginger and garlic or the final dish will turn bitter.
Add all the veggies one after other in the order shown in the step-wise pictures.
Then add chicken and once they are soft,cooked,keep them aside.
In a bowl add the ingredients to make sauce mix.
Mix well and keep aside.
In the same pan,add noodles and sauce mix.
Toss the noodles well to coat the sauce well on noodles.
Add the veggies and chicken, adjust salt.
Toss well to mix everything.
If there is no enough sauce for the dish add 1/4 cup water or chicken stock to loosen up everything.
Cook on high heat and toss well.
Serve immediately.


Recipe Notes:
When adding the chicken to the wok to fry,do not add the marinade to the pan,Use tongs or fork to pick chicken pieces and fry them.If marinade is added then the whole dish will get messy.
To get the smoky restaurant flavor for the dish use tossing on medium to high heat that gives the nice flavor to the final dish.
Do not over cook the veggies or make them very soft,keep them crunchy to get the combination of chicken and vegetables together in the dish.
Serve the dish immediately after preparing, reheating  works well too but fresh dish gives a unique flavor.
If you like more spice then increase the sriracha quantity too
