Equipment

  • Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms diced
  • 16 oz broccoli florets chopped
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 2 medium shallots diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 16 oz lo mein noodles
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seed oil
  • ½ tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce to make it whole 30 compliant substitute for amino acids
  • sesame seeds for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a separate pot, begin boiling water for the lo mein noodles. While the water begins to boil, chop the vegetables according to the directions. Have all of the various oils and sauces ready to add into the wok quickly. When making lo mein, the cooking process goes very quick.
  • In the wok, drizzle in 1 tbps of avocado oil and add in the carrots and broccoli. These vegetables take the longest to cook, so add them first. By this time it is probable that the water for the noodles is boiling. Lo Mein noodles also cook very quickly, they are basically unseasoned Ramen noodles. Place them in the boiling water and use a fork to help them unclump. This process only takes a few minutes. Drain from water once the noodles are no longer stuck together.
  • Then add the rest of the vegetables in this order: red bell pepper, shallot, garlic, ginger, and then mushrooms. Stir and toss for a minute or so between each addition and at the end add in the rest of the oils and sauces other than the soy sauce. Leave the soy sauce for the very last.
  • Before adding in the soy sauce, add in the lo mein noodles and toss until the noodles and vegetables are evenly combined. Lastly, add the soy sauce in and toss for another minute or two to let the flavors meld together. Salt and pepper to taste, you may find you don't need salt becvauseof the other ingredients already added. Serve immediately, top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
