Ingredients
- 8 oz Lo Mein noodles (or spaghetti, if unavailable)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, minced
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced

- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce

Instructions
Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
If using, add the cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) to the skillet and stir to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
