Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, 2 tablespoons each water and soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the carrots and half of the jalapeno in a large bowl. Add the noodles and toss to coat.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
- Transfer the pork mixture to the bowl with the noodles. Add half of the scallion greens and cilantro and toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen. Serve topped with the remaining jalapeno, scallion greens and cilantro.
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.

- 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.

Steps:
- Prepare the lo mein sauce by combining the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hot water, sugar, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the roast pork/char siu, garlic, and all the vegetables (the carrot, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, napa cabbage, snow peas, and bean sprouts, if using) so they are ready for cooking.
- If using cooked lo mein noodles, rinse them under hot tap water to loosen them and drain thoroughly. If using uncooked noodles, cook them according to package instructions until al dente, rinse in cold water to get rid of excess starch, and drain thoroughly. Set aside.
- Place your wok over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic. After 10 seconds, add the carrots, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and sliced mushrooms. Increase the heat to high, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Add the roast pork, and stir-fry for another 20 seconds, and then add the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok.
- Give everything a quick stir, and add the napa cabbage and the lo mein noodles. They should be warm or at room temperature, and not stuck together! (If they are, just rinse them again in warm water to loosen them up.)
- Pour your pre-mixed sauce evenly over the noodles, and stir-fry with a scooping motion for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce is evenly distributed, making sure to scrape the bottom of the wok to prevent the noodles from sticking. High heat and a well-seasoned wok should also prevent sticking.
- Next, add the snow peas, mung bean sprouts (if using), and scallions. Continue stir-frying until the noodles are heated through and everything is thoroughly mixed. If the lo mein becomes sticky, add 2 or more tablespoons of water until they loosen up.
- Give your lo mein a quick taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add more salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, or white pepper according to your own personal preference.
- Plate your roast pork lo mein and serve it with homemade chili oil or your favorite hot sauce on the side!

PORK IN PEANUT SAUCE
A quick and easy, delicious way to serve pork! Can be served over a bed of chopped romaine for a low-carb meal, or noodles for the traditionalists. The oil you use will make all the difference: the peanuttier the better; an obscure brand from the ethnic section of the supermarket is usually a better bet than one of the cheaper, mass-market varieties.

Tips:
- Prep Ingredients: Before starting, measure and cut all ingredients. This will save time and ensure you have everything ready when you need it.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables, meat, and noodles. Fresh ingredients will give your lo mein a vibrant and delicious taste.
- Choose the Right Noodles: Lo mein is traditionally made with Chinese egg noodles. However, you can use any type of noodle you like, such as udon noodles, ramen noodles, or spaghetti.
- Cook Noodles Properly: Be sure to cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a Large Pan or Wok: A large pan or wok will give you plenty of space to stir-fry the ingredients and prevent them from overcrowding. This will help ensure that the noodles and vegetables are evenly cooked.
- Use High Heat: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method that requires high heat. This will help to create a flavorful sear on the meat and vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Toss Regularly: When stir-frying, be sure to toss the ingredients regularly. This will help to ensure that they are evenly cooked and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add Sauce Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of sauce and then gradually add more until you reach the desired flavor. This will help to prevent the lo mein from becoming too salty or overpowering.
- Serve Immediately: Lo mein is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the noodles are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
Conclusion:
Lo mein is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious lo mein dish at home that will rival any takeout restaurant. So next time you are craving Chinese food, give this lo mein recipe a try!
