Does anyone have a good recipe for chicken/vegetable lo mein?

Asked by jlm11f (12416points) October 3rd, 2009

I’ve been checking out the usual recipe sites (allrecipes etc) but haven’t found a satisfactory recipe. To be clear, I am looking for a recipe that you have personally used before.

Thanks!

I must admit I am pretty slack about recipes but I have had good results by simply using my favorite stir fry and at the end tossing in the noodles. For a good stir fry, I start with garlic, ginger, lemon grass, onion and chillis in peanut oil and a dash of sesame oil too. Then add the veg plus soy sauce, a little siracha, dash of fish sauce or maybe some hoisin. It really depends on my mood.

Sorry I am not much help. Maybe you would get better internet results if you searched for hokkien noodles, I think they are almost the same.

@rooeytoo – You must be a natural cook then! People like me need a strict recipe to follow or anything that could go wrong will go wrong. When are you hosting us flutherites for lunch at your place? :)

This is a great recipe.

1 med. size onion
2 carrots
1 lg. sweet red pepper
1 c. broccoli florets
1 tbsp. oil
1 lg. clove of garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. Chinese oyster sauce
1 tbsp. mirin (sweet rice vinegar)
2 c. cooked spaghetti
Splash of sesame oil or to taste

Cut the onion into 12 wedges, julienne the carrots and pepper. Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces. Heat a large wok or pan, then add oil. Add onions and stir-fry until they are slightly tender and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add carrots, pepper, broccoli and garlic; continue to stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

In a small bowl, stir together oyster sauce and mirin. Pour over vegetables, immediately add cooked spaghetti and toss well to combine. Remove from heat, splash with sesame oil, toss lightly and serve hot.

@Lua_cara It’s customary to note your source, here. Just a gentle reminder.
