Ingredients
LO MEIN SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
MARINADE:
- 8 ounces large or jumbo shrimp peeled & deveined
- 1 tablespoon lo mein sauce
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 ounces Lo Mein Noodles
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup Napa cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 carrot julienned
- 2 green onion cut into 2-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients - dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, & white pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the meat & 1 tablespoon of the lo mein sauce. Set aside to marinate while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Prepare noodles according to the package. Set aside.
- Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of oil then once it’s hot, add the shrimp. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove & set aside.
- Toss in onions & cook for a few seconds, until they start to begin to turn tender but still crunchy. Add garlic & saute for a few more seconds, or until they’re fragrant.
- Add cabbage, bell peppers, and carrots. Cook for about 1 - 2 minutes, or until they begin to turn tender but still crunchy.
- Toss in noodles, pour in sauce, & gently mix together being careful not to break the noodles. Continue to cook for a few minutes until the sauce is completely absorbed into the noodles, then mix the shrimp back in.
- Turn off the heat, add the green onions, & give a final few tosses to allow the green onions to wilt from the residual heat. Garnish with sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy & enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Noodles: Fresh yellow egg noodles from the Asian market are typically use for lo mein, but instant noodles or even spaghetti noodles work too! Whichever kind of noodles you choose, prep the noodles according to the package. If you're using dry pasta like spaghetti noodles though, half the weight amount in the recipe.
- Regular & Dark Soy Sauce: Regular soy sauce is used for the saltiness & umami. Dark soy sauce is used for the rich dark color it gives the noodles & can be found online or any local Asian market. If you skip the dark soy sauce, just keep in mind your noodles will be much lighter in color than the photos (but still yummy!).
- Shaoxing Wine is a Chinese cooking wine that enhances the flavors of the sauce and gives that restaurant quality to the lo mein. You can find it online or Asian grocery store.
