Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and Sriracha until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the red bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the snow peas and bok choy. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bok choy is tender.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat to medium and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the noodles and veggies, gently tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    Transfer the lo mein to serving plates or bowls. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
