20-MINUTE LO MEIN WITH CHICKEN TERIYAKI MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Cook lo mein noodles in boiling water according to directions on package and drain well.
• In a large skillet or wok, cook the Aidells Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken Meatballs in 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium high heat, turning occasionally, until heated through and browned on all sides (6-8 minutes). Remove from skillet and place on a plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil to skillet. Sauté the white parts of the green onions, sliced mushrooms, and sliced bell peppers over medium-high heat until softened and beginning to brown (about 5 minutes).
• Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted (about 2 minutes).
• Meanwhile, to make the sauce, whisk together the soy sauce (3 tablespoons), honey (1/2 tablespoon), toasted sesame oil (1 teaspoon), and Sriracha (1 teaspoon) in a small bowl until well combined (or shake together in a jar).
• Add the browned meatballs, cooked noodles, and sauce to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
• Serve immediately, garnished with the green parts of the scallions.

LO MEIN WITH HOISIN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler; line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the ground beef, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 12 meatballs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster sauce, sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a liquid measuring cup.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons ginger, the scallions (reserve some of the greens for topping), cherry tomatoes and snow peas. Stir-fry until the snow peas are bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the noodles and toss. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss until mostly absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the noodle mixture and meatballs among bowls. Top with the reserved scallion greens.

MEATBALL LO MEIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Take out your sausage. I used Bob Evan's Italian Sausage, which has a milder flavor rather than butcher bought.
• 2. In a medium bowl, add your meatball ingredients and using a small melon scoop, make your meatballs and roll again slightly to ensure perfect balls. Place balls on a foil and non-stick spray lined pan to ensure easier clean up.
• 3. Bake at 375F for approximately 15-17 minutes. Take out oven and set aside.
• 4. As meatballs are baking, in a medium saucepan add 4-6 cups water, bring to boil. Start dicing your vegetables. Start with your celery, slice on an angle.
• 5. Now your carrots.
• 6. Finish off with your onion and set aside all veggies.
• 7. In a saute pan, add your oil and sesame oil. Once hot, add your onions, saute for about 1 minute. Add your celery and carrots. Stir and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, till veggies are just starting to get tender.
• 8. Add all sauces and seasonings. Let simmer for a 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, incorporate corn starch and orange juice, stir till smooth, add to sauce. Add your meatballs and simmer sauce till slightly thickened and meatballs have been heated thru.
• 9. As sauce is simmering, open ramen noodles, (discarding packet seasoning mix), and add to boiling water. Let simmer for 4-6 minutes, till tender. Drain well and add evenly to bowls.
• 10. Sauce should be ready at this point. Divide sauce evenly between bowls and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if preferred. Grab your chopsticks and ENJOY!!
