Ingredients
Lo Mein Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce vegan, if needed
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
Lo Mein Ingredients
- 4 ounces chinese noodles generally 1/2 package
- 1 1/2 /2 Tablespoon vegetable oil or another neutral oil
- 1/2 /2 medium yellow onion thinly sliced (~ 1 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrots shredded or julienned (2 medium)
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3-4 ounces Snow peas
- Optional: sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the sauce by whisking together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauces. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook Chinese noodles for 1-2 minutes (see package directions and cook 1-2 minutes less than the recommended cooking time to ensure they don't overcook later). As they boil, stir to unfold the noodles. Drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion slices and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender. Add garlic, continuing to stir for 1 minute as it becomes fragrant. Add carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas. Cook for 4-5 minutes until tender.
- Add the par-boiled noodles to the wok and pour in the sauce, stirring to coat. Continue to cook for 1-2 additional minutes until noodles are cooked through and sauce is distributed evenly. Serve immediately with scallions as desired.

Notes
- To add a protein: cook the desired protein (thinly sliced chicken or shrimp work best) in the wok/skillet first by adding a little oil, cooking through, and removing from pan until ready to add back in with the noodles at the end of the recipe.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes two large serves; you can easily double it. If serving with additional items, you can stretch it to 4 servings.
- To make vegetarian or vegan: use vegetarian/vegan oyster sauce.
- Dark Soy Sauce: you can substitute regular soy sauce if needed.
