Method : If making the Sriracha Roasted Vegetables: Heat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, toss quartered mushrooms and red peppers with the sesame oil and sriracha. Spread out on a baking sheet. While you make the Chicken Lo Mein, bake for 15 minutes until tender and blistered in spots. Stir the sauce ingredients together and set near the stove. Cook the lo mein noodles: Bring a large amount of salted water to a boil.

Add the noodles and cook until tender, usually around 4 minutes, but check the package directions for the noodles you are using. Cook the chicken: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil once that's hot, add the chicken. Cook until the chicken is just barely cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. (The chicken will continue to cook with the vegetables, so it's ok if it seems a little undercooked right now.)
Add the vegetables: When chicken is cooked, add cabbage and carrots, and continue to stir and cook until the veggies wilt and the liquid they release is mostly evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the noodles and sauce: Add noodles along with sauce and stir with the chicken and veggies to combine. The sauce should coat the noodles and other ingredients. If the dish seems too dry, add more water.
Serve: Serve the Chicken Lo Mein topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and roasted veggies (optional).
