Categories     Noodles and Pasta

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound fresh white noodles or lo mein egg noodles ((450g))
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar ((plus 1 teaspoon hot water to dissolve the sugar in))
Pinch of five spice powder ((optional))
1 tablespoon oil
1 clove garlic ((minced))
1 cup sliced mushrooms ((shiitakes, button mushrooms, or anything you like))
1 scallion ((split at the thick parts and cut into 2-inch lengths))
1 bell pepper ((red, orange, or yellow; julienned))
1 small carrot ((julienned))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 cup snow peas ((trimmed))
1 cup leafy greens ((bok choy, choy sum, etc.))

Steps:

  • Boil water in a large pot for the noodles. If using the lo mein egg noodles, you can skip this step, as those noodles do not require any pre-cooking. But if using fresh white noodles, you will have to boil them. Just cook until al dente, drain, and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauces, sesame oil, dissolved sugar, and five spice powder, if using.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat and add the garlic, mushrooms, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds and add the peppers and carrots. Make sure your wok is searing hot, and then add the Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry for another minute.
  • Next, add the snow peas and leafy greens to the wok and cook until the greens are just wilted. Then add your noodles. Make sure that before you add them, they're somewhat loose and not all clumped together (you can rinse them in warm water to loosen them up before adding them to the wok).
  • Pour your sauce mixture over the noodles and stir-fry until the color of the noodles are uniform. A folding or scoop-and-lift motion works well for that. Once everything is well-combined, dish out the noodles and serve.

The original recipe calls for Canadian bacon, so I suggest substituting fake bacon, tofu or some other meat sub. You could also just leave the meat out entirely and it would still be quite delicious.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Tips:

  • Use high-quality noodles: Fresh, high-quality noodles will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for noodles that are springy and have a slightly chewy texture.
  • Cook the noodles properly: Be sure to cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your lo mein will be. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the lo mein together. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.
  • Add protein: If you want to make your lo mein a more complete meal, you can add protein such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Serve immediately: Lo mein is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Vegetable lo mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give vegetable lo mein a try!
