Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 rounded tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons tamari (eyeball it)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (eyeball it)
Salt
1 pound spaghetti
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs, beaten
3 chicken breast cutlets, sliced into thin strips
3 thin-cut pork chops, sliced into thin strips
Black pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
6 scallions,cut into 3-inch lengths, then sliced lengthwise
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into quarters, seeded, then sliced
1 small can sliced water chestnuts, chopped
2 cups fresh bean sprouts, 4 generous handfuls, or 1/2 pound packaged shredded cabbage

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!

I made this lo mein for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the flavors and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this recipe again for a party or potluck.

This lo mein was good, but not amazing. The flavors were good, but I found the noodles to be a bit too soft. I think it would have been better if the noodles had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This lo mein is perfect for meal prep. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then have it for lunch or dinner throughout the week. It reheats well and is always delicious.

I was disappointed with the amount of vegetables in this lo mein. There were only a few pieces of broccoli and carrots, and I would have liked to see more variety and quantity of vegetables.

This lo mein was way too oily for my taste. The noodles were swimming in oil and it made it very difficult to eat. I think it would have been better if less oil had been used.

I found this lo mein to be a bit bland. The sauce was lacking in flavor and the vegetables were not very flavorful either. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.
