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.

3 tablespoons (45 ml) oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons (45 ml) cooking oil, such as canola or peanut oil
2 teaspoons (10 grams) minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons (11 grams) thinly sliced ginger
1/2 pound (250 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
3 cups (750 grams) fresh lo mein noodles (see Cook's Note)
1/4 pound (125 grams) baby bok choy, bottoms removed
3 scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) pieces

Steps:

  • Mix together the hoisin, tamari, hot sauce, and about 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water, add the pasta, and cook to al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, once around the pan, in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil ripples, add the beaten eggs and scramble them to light golden brown. Remove to a plate and reserve.
  • Season the meat strips with salt, pepper, and the coriander. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a ripple over high heat, then add the meat and stir-fry for 4 minutes. Push the meat to the sides of the skillet and add the garlic, ginger, scallions, shiitakes, bell peppers, water chestnuts, and bean sprouts or cabbage. Stir-fry the veggies for 2 minutes, then add the drained pasta and the eggs to the skillet. Pour the reserved sauce over the lo mein and toss it to combine. Turn off the heat. Toss for 30 seconds and let the pasta absorb all of the liquids. Taste it to adjust the seasonings. Yum-o! You're not getting this off of any take-out menu!

3 rounded tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons tamari (eyeball it)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (eyeball it)
Salt
1 pound spaghetti
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
