Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Add minced garlic, ginger, Szechuan peppercorns, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce heat to medium and add the cooked noodles to the wok. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to evenly coat.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce is absorbed.
