Ingredients

  • 8 ounces lo mein egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • ½ cup snow peas
  • 3 cups baby spinach

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Sriracha (or more, to taste)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and Sriracha. Set aside.
  • Cook the lo mein noodles in boiling water according to package instructions. Drain well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir frequently and cook until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add snow peas and spinach, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Add the cooked noodles and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Toss everything gently to combine and heat through.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier dish, add chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • You can swap vegetables based on preference or availability, such as broccoli, zucchini, or bok choy.
  • Adjust the Sriracha amount to control the spice level, or use chili flakes for an extra kick.
