- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce

Instructions
Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to the package instructions. If using fresh noodles, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side.
Add the cooked Lo Mein noodles to the pan and toss with the vegetables.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables, and toss well to coat everything evenly.
Add the green onions and stir-fry for another minute to combine.
Transfer the Lo Mein to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
