Open in Pepper →Noodles And Whatever Vegetables You Have
Lo mein is the dinner you make when the fridge has a half a cabbage, one carrot, and not much else. Noodles, garlic, soy sauce, and a hot pan turn that into a real plate of food.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when it's 6 p.m., nobody agrees on dinner, and takeout costs more than it should. Most of it comes together in the time the noodles boil.
Every recipe here is a version of that same weeknight save: Lo Mein Noodles with garlic, ginger, and chili flakes, Homemade Veggie Lo Mein, 15 Minute Lo Mein, Garlic Lo Mein Noodles, Vegetable Stir-Fry Noodles, and a Simple Gluten-Free Vegetable Lo Mein made with rice noodles and tamari.
Quick Tips
- 1
Undercook the noodles
Pull them 1 to 2 minutes shy of package directions — they finish cooking in the sauce and won't turn mushy.
- 2
Mix the sauce first
Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar in a cup before you heat the pan. Stir-frying moves fast and you won't have 30 seconds to measure.
- 3
Get the pan hot
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until it shimmers, then add vegetables in one layer so they sear instead of steam.
- 4
Add garlic last
Minced garlic burns in under a minute. Stir in your 4 to 6 cloves in the final 30 seconds before the noodles go in.
