Restaurant Quality Vegetable Lo Mein
- 10 ounces, weight Lo Mein Noodles Or Linguine
- 1/4 cups Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cooking Sherry Or Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 Tablespoons Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil Plus A Bit Extra For Drizzling On Noodles
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Ginger
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 bunch Scallions, Thinly Sliced
- 4 cups Stir Fry Vegetables, Thinly Sliced (cabbage, Carrots, Mushrooms, Bean Sprouts, Celery, Bamboo Shoots)
- Cook noodles as per directions on the package.
- Drain and let them cool.
- I tossed the noodles with a small amount of canola oil to prevent sticking and then refrigerated them for a couple of hours.
- You will be stir frying them in hot oil so you want all the water to be gone or it will spatter.
- Mix soy sauce, chicken broth, sugar, sherry or vinegar, black pepper, sesame oil and cornstarch in a bowl.
- Make sure you dont have any lumps from the cornstarch.
- Strain it if needed.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
- When the oil is steaming hot, add the ginger and garlic and stir fry for 15-20 seconds.
- Dont let the garlic burn or it will get bitter.
- Add the scallions and the rest of the veggies and stir fry until your desired done-ness is reached, about 3-5 minutes.
- Then pour sauce over veggies and let it begin to thicken, then add noodles and toss until noodles are heated through and the veggies are distributed.
- Note: For the stir fry veggies, I used bagged shredded carrots, cabbage and broccoli slaw.
- It isnt the traditional lo mein combo but it cut my prep time to nothing and it was delicious.
- You could also double the sauce and use it as a marinade for the meat of your choice.
- Enjoy!
