Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (dried or spaghetti in a pinch)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions (4–5 minutes for dried lo mein). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; toss with a little oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Prepare all the vegetables so everything can go quickly in the pan.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Add bean sprouts and ginger. Stir-fry another 1–2 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Toss to combine.
  8. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the noodle-vegetable mixture.
  9. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with green onion tops and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a vegan option, skip the oyster sauce and boost soy sauce with a splash of mushroom soy or a teaspoon of miso diluted in water.
