Description

A lighter version of classic shrimp lo mein, perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz whole wheat lo mein noodles
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir-fry sauce)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 green onion, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat the sesame oil and olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add the broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and snow peas to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
  8. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  9. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated with the sauce and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onion.

Notes

  • For a lower sodium option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • You can substitute chicken or tofu for the shrimp.
  • If you prefer softer vegetables, steam them briefly before adding them to the stir-fry.
