Instructions
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, and then set aside.
- Cut the chicken into strands.
- Add 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Leave the chicken alone to cook for a couple of minutes before lightly stirring.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan and add the carrots and peppers. Saute lightly until the vegetables are cooked. Add in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.

Notes
- Perfect noodles: Rinse the cooked lo me in noodles under cold water to prevent overcooking and sticky noodles.
