Ingredients
- 6 ounces noodles such as whole grain spaghetti, whole grain fettuccine, soba noodles, or udon noodles, long
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus additional for tossing with the noodles
- 3 teaspoons sesame oil divided, toasted
- 4 egg large
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce divided, plus additional to taste, reduced sodium
- 4 green onions thinly sliced, divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus additional to taste, crushed
- 8 ounces baby bella mushroom sliced
- 2 cups sugar snap peas
- 2 bell pepper cored and thinly sliced (red, yellow, orange, or any mix you like
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- Heat a wide, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. In a medium bowl scramble the eggs.
- Once the skillet is hot, add 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Swirl to coat then, pour in the eggs all at once. Lift and tilt the skillet so that the eggs form a thin layer on the bottom. Cook in a single layer without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, until just set.
- With a rubber spatula to assist, slide the eggs onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces or strips.
- Return the pan to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium (be careful as it may splatter if the pan is too hot). Working quickly, add 2/3 of the green onions (reserve the rest for serving), the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly, just until the very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook 1 minute, stirring often.
- Add the snap peas and bell peppers. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the reserved cooked noodles and eggs. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the top. Toss the lo mein gently to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved green onions.
