Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 8 oz (225g) lo mein noodles or egg noodles; 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated; 1 medium carrot, julienned; 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced; 2 cups bok choy, chopped; 1 cup snow peas, ends trimmed; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the noodles

Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Make the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil until sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add carrots and bell peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Continue cooking vegetables

Add mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Then add bok choy and snow peas, cooking for 1-2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender but still vibrant in color. Transfer all vegetables to a plate.
Combine and toss

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the wok. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute to heat through. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Serve

Transfer the lo mein to a large serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
