Replace oyster sauce with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
Add 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce to the Lo Mein sauce
Instructions
Marinate the protein (chicken, tofu, or beef) in soy sauce for at least 15 minutes.
Boil the Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated protein and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed, and stir-fry the vegetables until just tender.
Return the protein to the wok, add the noodles and the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, oyster sauce or hoisin, sesame oil, sugar, and Sriracha if making spicy beef). Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Serve garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or prefer.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
Adjust the level of spice in the Spicy Beef Lo Mein to suit your taste by modifying the amount of chili flakes and Sriracha sauce.
