Instructions

Cook Noodles: Prepare the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to prevent clumping.
Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Cook Vegetables and Chicken: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they become tender-crisp. Then, add the sliced cooked chicken, honey, and soy sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the sauce.
Toss Noodles: Incorporate the cooked lo mein noodles into the pan. Toss everything together and continue cooking until the noodles are heated through and well combined with the sauce and ingredients. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Serve: Plate the lo mein and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm for a delightful, quick meal.

Use precooked chicken or leftover roasted chicken to save time.
