Ingredients
  • 1 lb Lo Mein Noodles
  • 1 lb Shrimp
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Snap Peas
  • 1 cup Mushrooms
  • 2 Green Onions

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Cook the Noodles

Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.

Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Stir-fry the Shrimp

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-fry the Vegetables

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets, snap peas, and mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine and Serve

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
