Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or any Asian-style noodles)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 zucchini, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and the reserved noodle cooking water. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to combine.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the sauce and vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (optional).
