Ingredients

• 8 oz lo mein noodles or fresh egg noodles
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 4 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 4 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 4 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup snow peas
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 3 green onions, sliced diagonally
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)

Instructions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with 1 tsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and beef, stir-fry until just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
4. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Add shrimp and stir-fry until pink, about 1-2 minutes. Remove to the plate with meat.
5. Add mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds.
6. Return cooked meats and shrimp to the wok. Add the cooked noodles and the sauce mixture. Toss everything together over high heat until well combined and heated through.
7. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles. Add green onions, toss briefly, and serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking as the stir-fry process is very fast.
• Substitute any protein or vegetables you have on hand; this dish is very versatile.
• If you can't find fresh lo mein noodles, dried spaghetti or linguine work as a substitute.
