Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Salt
8 ounces dried Chinese egg noodles, or 1 pound fresh
1 packet chicken bouillon mix, such as Knorr, dissolved in 1 3/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 cup thinly sliced white button mushrooms
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, shredded
1 small bunch scallions, white and green parts, sliced
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For the noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to their package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • For the sauce: Combine the bouillon, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and Sriracha in a large glass measuring cup or small bowl and set aside. This may look like a lot of sauce, but you have a lot of noodles and veggies to coat!
  • For the lo mein: Heat a wok over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, half the garlic, half the ginger and half the scallions and saute 30 seconds. Add in the shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp and aromatics to a plate and reserve.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add the remaining garlic, ginger and scallions. Saute 30 seconds, and then add in the mushrooms, celery, carrots and cabbage. Saute the veggies until they begin to brown and caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons cold water. Once dissolved, add to the sauce. Add the sauce to the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Toss in the reserved shrimp, aromatics and noodles and serve!

SHRIMP LO MEIN



Shrimp Lo Mein image

Shrimp Lo Mein is an easy dish to make at home and tastes just as good as any restaurant version. Prepare the ingredients ahead of time for an easy lo mein.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Noodles and Pasta

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 oz. shrimp ((340g, 31/40 size, peeled and deveined))
1 pound fresh pre-cooked lo mein noodles
½ teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons regular or light soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 tablespoons neutral oil ((like vegetable or canola, divided))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
6 fresh button or cremini mushrooms ((sliced))
1 medium carrot ((julienned))
1/2 cup bamboo shoots ((sliced))
1/2 cup water chestnuts
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
3 cups napa cabbage
1 cup snow peas ((trimmed))
1 cup fresh mung bean sprouts
2 scallions ((split and cut into 2-inch long pieces))

Steps:

  • Take the shrimp and noodles out of the refrigerator, and let them come up to room temperature. One trick for the noodles is to soak the whole bag (unopened) in hot water, which speeds up the warming process without making the noodles soggy.
  • If you can't find lo mein noodles, you can actually substitute dried linguini. Just cook until al dente, drain, and immediately toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, working the oil into the pasta so the noodles don't stick together. Always prepare your noodles just before you are ready to make the dish, so they don't dry out and remain at room temperature or warmer. This makes the stir-frying process much easier.
  • Combine the sugar, soy sauces, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved and set aside. Heat a large wok over high heat until it just starts to smoke, and add 1 tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok. Quickly spread the shrimp around your wok and let them sear for 10-15 seconds on each side. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Return the wok to the highest heat possible and add 2 tablespoons oil, along with the garlic. After a few seconds, add the mushrooms, carrots, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  • Next, spread the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and then add the napa cabbage. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Spread the noodles evenly over the vegetables and give everything a good stir for 1 minute. Now, you can see why you want everything at room temperature, or everything will be overcooked and mushy by the time it heats up!
  • At this point, the noodles should be softened, so add in the sauce mixture you set aside earlier and mix until everything is well combined. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds using a scooping motion, until the sauce is well distributed. Add in the shrimp, snow peas, bean sprouts, and scallions. Mix well for another 2 minutes and serve!

CLASSIC LO MEIN (NOODLES)



Classic Lo Mein (Noodles) image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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:

  • 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.

QUICK SHRIMP LO MEIN



Quick Shrimp Lo Mein image

Lo Mein is a Cantonese dish meaning "stirred noodle". Traditionally Lo Mein is a variation of wonton noodles where all the components including the noodles are served separately. Lo Mein in Mandarin is known as "Ban Mein" i.e. mixed sauce noodle and not necessarily stir fried together, just tossed together. This makes for a simple satisfying supper great as a family sharing plate with other dishes. Don't be phased by what seems like a long list of ingredients - pre-cook the noodles, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Stir-fry the main ingredients and toss the noodles and ingredients in the sauce. To ensure the shrimp does not get overcooked, ensure the ingredients are added in quick succession in the wok and that all the ingredients are pre-chopped.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons low-sodium light soy sauce
One 12-ounce nest thin egg noodles (makes 1 pound cooked)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
4 large dried or fresh shitake mushrooms, washed, presoaked in warm water for 20 minutes if dried, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound shrimp, tails on
7 ounces choi sum, leaves and stalks cut into 2-inch pieces, or broccoli florets
1 tablespoon Shaosing rice wine
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 large pinch ground white pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Mix together the stock, 3/4 cup water, the cornstarch and soy sauce. Stir well and set aside. For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil, and then add the noodles and cook until al dente, 3 minutes. Drain under cold running water. Add the sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the ginger, mushrooms and garlic and toss together for a few seconds. Then add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for less than 1 minute. Add the choi sum leaves and toss together for 1 minute. As the shrimp starts to turn pink, add the Shaosing rice wine.
  • Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil; this will take 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly add the cooked egg noodles and season with the sesame oil and dark soy. Stir together well for 1 minute, making sure all the noodles are coated in the sauce. Season the ground white pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep before cooking: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh shrimp, vegetables, and noodles for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Use high heat and stir constantly: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or pan is nice and hot before adding the ingredients. Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Lo mein noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the flavor base of your lo mein, so add it at the end of the cooking process to prevent it from evaporating.

Conclusion:

Shrimp lo mein is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can make a restaurant-quality lo mein at home. So next time you're craving Chinese takeout, give this recipe a try!
