Ingredients

• 8 ounces lo mein noodles
• 1 cup shelled edamame
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 4 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon optional chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables: peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the red bell pepper, chop the green onions (separating the white and green parts), and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften but still have some crunch.

Step 7

Toss in the shelled edamame and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
