Chow Mein Sauce:
- 5 Tbsp liquid aminos or coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce*
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup optional**
- 1 tsp tapioca flour optional
- 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Zoodle Chow Mein
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast
- 5 zucchini squash spiralized
- 1 large carrot grated
- ½ cup red onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper color of choice (I use ½ red and ½ yellow)
- 3 stalks green onion chopped
- 2 tsp sesame seeds optional
Spiralize the zucchini.
Prepare the chow mein sauce. Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender or whisk them well in a measuring cup until combined.
Heat the avocado oil over medium-high and add the chicken. Cook just until the chicken has browned slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini noodles, stir well and allow them to cook until they begin to leach a lot of liquid, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the remaining ingredients (including the sauce) and stir well. Cook at a full boil, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and all of the vegetables have reached your desired level of doneness.
Serve and enjoy!
*replace the oyster sauce with 1 tsp fish sauce or 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce.
**Omit the pure maple syrup to make recipe Whole30 compliant
