Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lo mein noodles
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 4 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon optional chili flakes
Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables: peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the red bell pepper, chop the green onions (separating the white and green parts), and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but still have some crunch.
Toss in the shelled edamame and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
