Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop cashews.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels or open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and tender, 4-7 minutes. • Add scallion whites, carrots, and garlic powder. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil.) Cook, stirring frequently and lowering heat if browning too quickly, until veggies are just tender and fragrant, 1-2 minutes more.
Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.
• While veggies cook, in a small bowl, combine chili sauce, onion paste, half the vinegar, half the soy sauce, and 1⁄4 cup water (all the vinegar, all the soy sauce, and 1⁄2 cup water for 4 servings). • Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes. • Drain noodles, shaking off any excess water, and transfer to pan with veggies. Add soy-chili mixture, half the cashews, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Toss until butter has melted and noodles are thoroughly coated, 30-60 seconds. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Add shrimp or chicken to pan along with noodles.
• Divide lo mein between shallow bowls; garnish with scallion greens and remaining cashews. Serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Quick and very yummy. The two of us even had leftovers which we normally don't with these meals. The only downfall is the order of the steps. I learned after cooking this to read ALL parts of ALL steps beforehand and do things in the most effective order in order to not rush thru certain steps or mess anything up while trying to juggle too much at once
This was absolutely incredible. Out of 60+ meals, this might be my favorite. Just loved everything about it. I added shrimp. I will def get this one every time it is offered.
I think putting the noodles in should be moved up a step. The veggies were done very early, and mixing the sauce was in a 2min window after the carrots went in.
This was delicious. Very easy to make. I chose the shrimp option and oh my was it good. Not too spicy or sweet.
This made quite a bit of food even though it was for 2. Nice!
Needed a few more noodles in relation to the chicken and broccoli
I got it with the shrimp, which there are loads of for the 2 meals. So simple and delicious 😋
Best Asian recipe so far, we added the chicken and it was so good!
Good flavor. A creative way to get a lot of vegetables
Could use a bit more depth in flavor. Some more savory flavors to help balance out the sweet acidity.
