CLASSIC LO MEIN (NOODLES)
I love this deceptively simple dish. If you have all the ingredients, you can have a plate of delicious noodles on the table within 15 to 20 minutes, with prep included. There really isn't such a thing as a "lo mein" noodle, so don't try to find it on the shelf. You want to buy an egg noodle or pasta that's relatively thin and has some tooth. Some common names will be lo mein, chow mein, egg noodles or pancit noodles. Most markets have Japanese yaki soba noodles in the cold case, and those would work perfectly. Spaghetti or fettuccini cooked al dente and rinsed in cold water and drained in a colander will also make a great lo mein. The traditional difference between lo mein and chow mein is that lo mein is a soft noodle with some gravy, and chow mein is a crispy fried noodle tossed with or smothered in sauce. This has become very convoluted over the 200 years Chinese food has existed in America, with regional evolutions. Another tip: Although sesame oil is a fat and you would assume it should be used to start the stir-fry, I want you to treat it like a sauce. Sesame oil has incredible aroma and flavor but burns at a low temp. Add it to a sauce instead and use a high-temp oil like canola or peanut for cooking.

Steps:
- To make the sauce, stir together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, chicken stock and cornstarch in a small bowl and reserve.
- Heat a wok or large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat and add the cooking oil. Once you see wisps of white smoke, add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until light brown and fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until medium, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the noodles and bok choy and cook, stirring and tossing, until the bok choy starts to soften and turn bright green, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the sauce; allow the sauce to coat all the ingredients and start to simmer, about 1 more minute.
- Cook, stirring and tossing, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 more minute, and the sauce starts to bubble into a glaze. Top with the scallions and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler; line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the ground beef, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 12 meatballs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster sauce, sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a liquid measuring cup.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons ginger, the scallions (reserve some of the greens for topping), cherry tomatoes and snow peas. Stir-fry until the snow peas are bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the noodles and toss. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss until mostly absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the noodle mixture and meatballs among bowls. Top with the reserved scallion greens.
MEATBALL LO MEIN
This recipe was created for the Ninja Chef's Chopped challenge. Our secret ingredients this week was; Whole Wheat Bread, Italian Sausage & Ramen Noodles. Working on an Asian theme, I immediately thought of "lo mein"... then I said to myself, "self", why not sausage meatballs. This came out absolutely amazing!! My brother...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Take out your sausage. I used Bob Evan's Italian Sausage, which has a milder flavor rather than butcher bought.
- 2. In a medium bowl, add your meatball ingredients and using a small melon scoop, make your meatballs and roll again slightly to ensure perfect balls. Place balls on a foil and non-stick spray lined pan to ensure easier clean up.
- 3. Bake at 375F for approximately 15-17 minutes. Take out oven and set aside.
- 4. As meatballs are baking, in a medium saucepan add 4-6 cups water, bring to boil. Start dicing your vegetables. Start with your celery, slice on an angle.
- 5. Now your carrots.
- 6. Finish off with your onion and set aside all veggies.
- 7. In a saute pan, add your oil and sesame oil. Once hot, add your onions, saute for about 1 minute. Add your celery and carrots. Stir and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, till veggies are just starting to get tender.
- 8. Add all sauces and seasonings. Let simmer for a 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, incorporate corn starch and orange juice, stir till smooth, add to sauce. Add your meatballs and simmer sauce till slightly thickened and meatballs have been heated thru.
- 9. As sauce is simmering, open ramen noodles, (discarding packet seasoning mix), and add to boiling water. Let simmer for 4-6 minutes, till tender. Drain well and add evenly to bowls.
- 10. Sauce should be ready at this point. Divide sauce evenly between bowls and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if preferred. Grab your chopsticks and ENJOY!!
ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH RICE NOODLES
Submitted for RSC #9. This whole recipe was a new experience for me...I was so happy it worked out! I made it as a last effort for the contest after 2 failed recipes. I knew what fresh Asian flavors I liked together so that is what inspired the meatballs. I was impressed with how flavorful they turned out! They did end up a little hot so feel free to cut down on the peppers. I loved the rice noodles so much that they will be come a regular quick meal in my home. I love the suggestions from reviewers to bake the meatballs. Why didn't I think of that? I do think the sesame oil is a very important flavor enhancer for the noodles. Thanks to everyone who tried this for the contest!
