  • 2 TBS sesame oil
  • ¼ cup Lo Mein sauce (look in the international aisle next to the soy sauce- see note below)

Recipe Notes

  • Fresh steamed chow mein/chinese noodles are only partially cooked and can be found in the refrigerated section at most Asian markets. Cook them a few minutes in boiling water (still firm though), strain and rinse with cold water.
  • If you can't find fresh chow mein noodles, then use the dried noodles by cooking them first and remove about 1 minute before the package directions. Drain them and rinse with cold water.
  • Lo Mein Sauce - if you can't find it, you can make it by mixing: 2 TBS reduced sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon Sriracha. Use in recipe in place of the sauce.
