Description
Lo Mein is a classic Chinese stir-fried noodle dish featuring wheat noodles tossed with vegetables, protein, and a savory sauce, creating a delicious and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Sauce:
– 1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock
– 3 tablespoons (45 ml) oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Noodles:
– 3 tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil
– 4 teaspoons ginger, thinly julienned
– 2 teaspoons (10 g) garlic, minced
– 1/2 pound (250 g) chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
– 2 to 3 cups fresh egg noodles, such as pancit
– 1/2 carrot, julienned
– 1/4 pound (125 g) baby bok choy, bottoms removed, cut on the bias
– 3 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch bias pieces
Instructions
1. For the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set aside.
2. For the noodles: Heat a pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once you see wisps of white smoke, add the ginger and garlic. Cook until light brown and fragrant, about 20 seconds.
3. Stir in the chicken slices and cook until they are medium, about 1 minute.
4. Add the fresh egg noodles, julienned carrot, and baby bok choy to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 1 minute.
5. Stir the sauce to ensure the cornstarch is well incorporated, then pour it into the pan with the noodles and vegetables. Mix all the ingredients well.
6. Continue to cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce starts to bubble and thicken.
7. Transfer the Lo Mein to a serving platter, garnish with scallions, and serve immediately.
Notes
– Customize the vegetables and protein to your preference.
– Adjust the amount of sauce and seasonings according to taste.
– Be mindful not to overcook the noodles to avoid mushiness.
