P.F. Chang's Chicken Lo Mein Recipe

This chicken lo mein has everything you want—tender noodles, crisp vegetables, and a sauce that coats everything just right.
Using dark meat chicken instead of breast keeps it from drying out, giving each bite a better texture.
I always cook the noodles just shy of done before adding them to the pan and finish cooking 'em in the sauce.
A quick toss in cornstarch before stir-frying helps the chicken brown faster while keeping it juicy.
Sesame oil should be added at the end, not cooked with the rest of the ingredients so you keep its nutty essence intact!
