Instructions
- 1
Cook the lo mein noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.

Prepare all vegetables: mince garlic and ginger, julienne carrots and bell pepper into thin strips, roughly chop napa cabbage, slice green onions (separating white and green parts), and rinse bean sprouts.

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.

Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add carrots and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.

Add napa cabbage and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it begins to wilt.
- 8
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss everything together for 1 minute.
- 9
Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Use tongs to toss continuously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats everything evenly and the noodles heat through.

Add bean sprouts and green parts of green onions. Toss for 30 seconds just to warm through.
