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
- 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.
