Noodles: You can use Lo Mein egg noodles or Ramen noodles. Substitute with spaghetti or linguine if you can’t find the lo mein or ramen noodles. Basically, you can use any noodles you want, dried or fresh. If you are allergic to eggs or intolerant, ensure the noodles are egg-free. These are my fave eggless noodles for stir-fry. Oil: Vegetable oil or canola oil. Chicken: You can substitute chicken for beef, shrimp, pork,turkey, or hard tofu. Veggies: I used garlic, fresh ginger, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, snow peas, baby bok choy, and scallions. You can use as many vegetables as you want here and even switch them up with fresh bean sprouts, broccoli florets, or thinly sliced Napa cabbage. Lo Mein sauce: For the sauce, you’ll need soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing Chinese wine, cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil, and ground white pepper.
What Is Lo Mein Sauce Made Of?
The Lo-Mein sauce is made with soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing Chinese wine, cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil, and ground white pepper.The sauce is pretty easy to make, and it tastes delicious. Since the recipe makes 1 ½ cups of sauce, you can save the rest in the refrigerator and have it ready to use when you need it in other stir-fries.
Storing & Reheating Instructions
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan or skillet on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles and toss them until they’re heated through. Keep stirring for the whole time; otherwise, the vegetables will be soggy and your noodles watery. The veggies are supposed to be crisp-tender, so do not sauté for too long. Woks are great for stir-fries because it makes the toss easier, but if you don’t have a wok, use a very large skillet, preferably one that holds heat well.
