Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 oz fresh or dried lo mein egg noodles
Protein
- 8 oz pork shoulder or tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Sauces and Oils
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil)
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare Noodles and Ingredients: Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender but still chewy. Drain the noodles and toss them with a small amount of neutral cooking oil to prevent sticking. While the noodles cook, thinly slice the pork, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the carrots, bell peppers, and green onions.
- Cook the Pork: Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat and add the neutral cooking oil. Stir-fry the thinly sliced pork until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside to keep juicy and tender.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, add the beaten eggs and scramble gently, cooking until the eggs are fluffy but still moist. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside with the pork.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables and Aromatics: Add more oil to the pan if needed. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger and cook just until fragrant. Add the sliced carrots, bell peppers, and green onions, stir-frying until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked pork and scrambled eggs to the pan along with the noodles. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a splash of sesame oil. Toss everything quickly over high heat so the noodles absorb the sauce and all ingredients blend evenly.
- Serve Hot: Once everything is mixed and heated through, serve the Egg and Pork Lo Mein immediately to enjoy its freshest and most flavorful state.
Notes
- Use fresh noodles for best texture; dried noodles work well if fresh are unavailable.
- Adjust soy and oyster sauce amounts to taste for saltiness.
- Vegetables can be varied according to preference, such as adding snap peas or mushrooms.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs to keep them moist and fluffy.
- High heat during stir-frying helps maintain the noodles’ chewiness and vegetable crunch.
