Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce mixture and toss well to coat everything evenly.
