chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while thighs are more economical than breasts.

Season 3 lbs of finely chopped chicken with fresh green seasoning, garlic, bell peppers, onion powder, ginger powder, black pepper, five star spice powder, dried thyme, Chinese spice, Chinese seasoning, paprika, and adobo; mix well and let it marinate for 30-35 minutes.

Heat oil in a white Kahari and add the marinated chicken; fry for about 10 minutes with the lid on to allow it to release its juices.

Remove the lid and increase the heat to fry down the liquid until it evaporates, then add a little more water to stew the chicken until the gravy thickens.

In a separate pot, boil water with oil and salt, then add chow mein noodles and cook for 10 minutes.

Add chopped broccoli and frozen peas and carrots to the boiling water to blanch for about a minute, then drain and cool.

Stir in fresh red onions into the chicken gravy, then add the cooked chow mein noodles and mix gently with two forks to avoid breaking the noodles.

Season with extra black pepper and adobo, then mix one final time before plating.
