Fast and Easy Lo Mein

Ingredients

  • 3 T. soy sauce
  • 3 T. oyster sauce
  • 1 t. toasted sesame oil The dark seasoning kind with the Asian food, not the light-colored kind with the cooking oils
  • 1 t. honey
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 t. grated ginger, or ½ t. powdered
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetables of your choice (red pepper strips, scallions, broccoli, green beans, shredded carrots, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, etc.--a combo is ideal)

  • 1 ½ cups cooked protein (leftover shrimp, chicken, pork, beef, tofu, etc. chopped or sliced if needed)
  • 2 pkgs. ramen noodles, microwaved in water to cover for 2 or 3 minutes, and drained (no seasoning packets), or 8 oz. of spaghetti or linguine, cooked according to package directions and drained

Instructions

  • Put soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small jar with a lid. Shake really well and set aside.
  • If needed, cut vegetables into bite-size pieces, or strips--whatever makes sense to you. Quickly sauté vegetables in olive oil over medium heat just until wilted. Add whatever cooked protein you’re using and cook just to heat through. Pour the sauce into the pan. Add the softened or cooked noodles to the pan. Toss well and serve.
