Ingredients
  

Main
  • 8 oz. Lo Mein noodles
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup carrots julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. oyster sauce optional
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 2 green onions chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling noodles
  • Colander for draining
  • Wok or large skillet for stir-frying
  • Spatula
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Add 8 oz. of Lo Mein noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions (about 3–4 minutes) until al dente.
  3. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp. vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add 1 cup each of sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, and broccoli florets to the wok; stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Add the drained noodles to the skillet along with 3 tbsp. soy sauce, 1 tbsp. oyster sauce, and 1 tsp. sesame oil; toss well to coat and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, transfer to serving plates, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving immediately.

Notes

Always have your ingredients prepped and ready. Stir-frying is quick, and you don't want to leave anything burning while you scramble for your chopped veggies.
