Steps:
- Boil water in a large pot for the noodles. If using the lo mein egg noodles, you can skip this step, as those noodles do not require any pre-cooking. But if using fresh white noodles, you will have to boil them. Just cook until al dente, drain, and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauces, sesame oil, dissolved sugar, and five spice powder, if using.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat and add the garlic, mushrooms, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds and add the peppers and carrots. Make sure your wok is searing hot, and then add the Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry for another minute.
- Next, add the snow peas and leafy greens to the wok and cook until the greens are just wilted. Then add your noodles. Make sure that before you add them, they're somewhat loose and not all clumped together (you can rinse them in warm water to loosen them up before adding them to the wok).
- Pour your sauce mixture over the noodles and stir-fry until the color of the noodles are uniform. A folding or scoop-and-lift motion works well for that. Once everything is well-combined, dish out the noodles and serve.

Steps:
- I like to start off by cutting all the veggies and meat for the lo mein.
- I always use broccoli carrots mushrooms onions peppers baby corn and sugar pea pods.
- (you can add what you have or like) I start heating my water for the lo mein noodles and then put the fry pan or wok on to heat.
- If I'm using meat I stir fry that first and remove from pan and then saute vegetables.
- After vegetables get to the point I want them I return the meat to pan with vegetables.
- I always use olive oil for the stir frying.
- I also add olive oil to the water for noodles so they don't stick together.
- After your water comes to boil add your lo mein.
- At this point mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar together.
- After you get sugar dissolved add to vegetable mixture.
- Toss together with noodles and simmer for about 3 minutes just to incorporate flavors and heat through.
