CLASSIC LO MEIN (NOODLES) RECIPE | JET TILA | FOOD NETWORK



Classic Lo Mein (Noodles) Recipe | Jet Tila | Food Network image

I love this deceptively simple dish. If you have all the ingredients, you can have a plate of delicious noodles on the table within 15 to 20 minutes, with prep included. There really isn't such a thing as a "lo mein" noodle, so don't try to find it on the shelf. You want to buy an egg noodle or pasta that's relatively thin and has some tooth. Some common names will be lo mein, chow mein, egg noodles or pancit noodles. Most markets have Japanese yaki soba noodles in the cold case, and those would work perfectly. Spaghetti or fettuccini cooked al dente and rinsed in cold water and drained in a colander will also make a great lo mein. The traditional difference between lo mein and chow mein is that lo mein is a soft noodle with some gravy, and chow mein is a crispy fried noodle tossed with or smothered in sauce. This has become very convoluted over the 200 years Chinese food has existed in America, with regional evolutions. Another tip: Although sesame oil is a fat and you would assume it should be used to start the stir-fry, I want you to treat it like a sauce. Sesame oil has incredible aroma and flavor but burns at a low temp. Add it to a sauce instead and use a high-temp oil like canola or peanut for cooking.

Total Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons (45 ml) oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons (45 ml) cooking oil, such as canola or peanut oil
2 teaspoons (10 grams) minced garlic 
1 1/2 tablespoons (11 grams) thinly sliced ginger
1/2 pound (250 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
3 cups (750 grams) fresh lo mein noodles (see Cook's Note)
1/4 pound (125 grams) baby bok choy, bottoms removed
3 scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) pieces

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, stir together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, chicken stock and cornstarch in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Heat a wok or large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat and add the cooking oil. Once you see wisps of white smoke, add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until light brown and fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until medium, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the noodles and bok choy and cook, stirring and tossing, until the bok choy starts to soften and turn bright green, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the sauce; allow the sauce to coat all the ingredients and start to simmer, about 1 more minute.
  • Cook, stirring and tossing, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 more minute, and the sauce starts to bubble into a glaze. Top with the scallions and serve hot.

Provided by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo

Total Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

8 cups water
8 ounces fresh egg noodles (soft noodles, slightly thicker than vermicelli)
5 ounces lean fresh pork, julienned
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Shao-Hsing wine or sherry
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon light soy sauce
Pinch white pepper
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Shao-Hsing wine or sherry
Pinch of white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup chicken broth
6 to 7 tablespoons peanut oil
1 slice fresh ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup snow peas, strings and ends removed, julienned diagonally
3 fresh water chestnuts, peeled, washed, cut julienne style
1/4 cup bamboo shoots, cut julienne style
2 scallions, julienned

Steps:

  • Boil water. Add noodles and cook for about 1 minute, until al dente. Add cold water to the pot and drain noodles in a strainer. Return them to pot, add cold water, drain again. Repeat once again. Allow noodles to drain for 2 hours, turning them occasionally so they are completely dry.
  • Marinate pork for 1 hour and reserve. Make the sauce and reserve.
  • Pour 4 tablespoons of the peanut oil into a cast-iron frying pan over high heat. Heat for 40 seconds. When a wisp of white smoke appears, place noodles in an even layer in the pan, covering the entire bottom. Cook for 2 minutes, moving pan about the burner to insure that noodles brown evenly. Invert noodles using dish placed over fry pan. Cook the other side for 2 minutes. If more oil is needed at this point, pour 1 additional tablespoon into pan, but only if needed.
  • As noodles are cooking, heat a wok over high heat for 40 seconds. Add two tablespoons peanut oil and coat the wok. Add ginger, stir. Add garlic, stir. When garlic browns, add pork and marinade, spread in a thin layer, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn over and mix well.
  • Add all vegetables, stir together. When vegetables have softened slightly, make well in the center and add the sauce. Stir together. When sauce thickens, turn off heat.
  • Place noodles in a dish, pour contents of wok over them and serve immediately.
