The 15Minute Quick Lo Mein Best Easy Lo Mein Recipe

Instructions:

1. Cook noodles according to package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain immediately and toss with a tiny drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch until the starch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp of high-heat oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering (smoking slightly). Quickly sear the protein (if using) until lightly browned and nearly cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil to the hot wok. Add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry rapidly for 30 seconds until intensely fragrant.
5. Toss in the broccoli and carrots. Stir-fry vigorously for 1-2 minutes until they start to brighten in colour but remain crunchy.
6. Add the sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
7. Return the seared protein (if used) to the wok. Add the cooked noodles. Give the sauce mixture a quick re-whisk and immediately pour it all over the noodles and vegetables.
8. Toss constantly and quickly for 60–90 seconds. The sauce should bubble and visibly thicken, coating everything evenly. Remove immediately from heat.
9. Stir in the toasted sesame oil and most of the green onion tops. Serve immediately, garnishing with the remaining greens.
