Instructions
How to Make Plain Lo Mein Noodles
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add 8 oz of Lo Mein noodles and cook until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
- Wash your chosen vegetables—bell peppers, carrots, and green onions—and slice them thinly.
- In a large skillet or wok, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Toss in the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add your drained Lo Mein noodles to the skillet. Gently stir them into the vegetables.
- Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
Rinse the noodles under cold water after draining to prevent sticking. Be cautious not to overcook your garlic, as burnt garlic can impart a bitter flavor. Adjust the soy sauce to taste.
