Ingredients

  • 8 oz dry egg noodles (package or fresh)
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1/4 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cups cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/4 large cabbage)
  • 3 garlic cloves, diced
  • 1 bunch green onion (green part only)
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (or regular sugar)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions

  1. Slice the onion, carrots, cabbage, garlic, and green onion, and set them aside for later use.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the dark soy sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to make the sauce.
  3. Cook the egg noodles in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a hot pan or wok, cook the garlic, carrots, and onion for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Toss in the cooked noodles, sauce, and green onion, and cook for another minute, stirring until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce.
  6. Plate the Lo Mein and enjoy the delicious flavors!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, skip the oyster sauce or replace it with a vegetarian substitute.
  • If the noodles dry out when reheating, add a splash of water or soy sauce to restore moisture.
  • You can experiment with different vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for more variety.
  • For a spicy kick, add chili sauce, sriracha, or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
