How To Make chinese - shrimp lo mein
-
1For the noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to their package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
2For the sauce: Combine the bouillon, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and Sriracha in a large glass measuring cup or small bowl and set aside. This may look like a lot of sauce, but you have a lot of noodles and veggies to coat!
-
3For the lo mein: Heat a wok over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, half the garlic, half the ginger and half the scallions and saute 30 seconds.
-
4Add in the shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes.
-
5Transfer the shrimp and aromatics to a plate and reserve.
-
6In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add the remaining garlic, ginger and scallions.
-
7Saute 30 seconds, and then add in the mushrooms, celery, carrots and cabbage.
-
8Saute the veggies until they begin to brown and caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
9Whisk the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons cold water. Once dissolved, add to the sauce.
-
10Add the sauce to the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer.
-
11Toss in the reserved shrimp, aromatics and noodles and serve!
