Home/Lo Mein

    INGREDIENTS

    Sauce:
    2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (sub regular soy sauce)
    1 tablespoon light soy sauce (sub regular soy sauce)
    3 tablespoons oyster sauce
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 clove of garlic, grated (optional)

    Lo Mein:
    4–6 ounces uncooked ramen noodles
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    3 green onions, chopped (separate green parts from white parts – you’ll use both separately)
    2–3 cups julienne cut or chopped vegetables like carrots, red peppers, cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, or broccoli
    1–2 tablespoons mirin

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Sauce: Shake all the sauce ingredients together in a jar.

    Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

    Lo Mein: Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet. Add the green onions (white parts) and vegetables to the hot pan. Stir fry until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mirin to loosen the browned bits up off the bottom of the pan. Add the cooked noodles and about half of the sauce – toss around in the hot pan to combine. Add more sauce if needed (I usually gauge the amount of sauce I want by the color of the noodles – you want a medium brown color, not too light, not too dark). Serve topped with remaining green onions!
