Ingredients

  • 10 oz. Lo Mein Noodles or uncooked ramen noodles, spaghetti, or fettuccini, in a pinch
  • 1 package Aidells Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken Meatballs
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil divided (or any other neutral tasting oil)
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 8 oz. sliced cremini (baby portobello) mushrooms
  • 1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced (or a mix of colors)
  • 5 oz. baby spinach about 3 packed cups
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook lo mein noodles in boiling water according to directions on package and drain well.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted (about 2 minutes).
  5. 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).
  6. Add the browned meatballs, cooked noodles, and sauce to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with the green parts of the scallions.

Notes

  • Time Saving Tip: prep your veggies while the meatballs heat up.
