Clean The Fridge Lo Mein

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup light soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sweet soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or grated ginger)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 2-3 tablespoons sriracha (more or less to taste)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 11-12 ounces fresh yakisoba noodles (see note)
• 1 tablespoon EACH canola oil AND minced garlic
• 5 scallions (chopped (keep the greens separate from the whites))
• 4-5 cups mixed veggies (I used bok choy, celery, sliced onions, mushrooms, coleslaw mix, matchstick carrots)

Instructions

1. 1

   SAUCE: Add the ingredients for the sauce into a mason jar and give it a few shakes to combine, set aside.

2. 2

   NOODLES: Cook the noodles according to package directions minus 1-2 minutes, because the noodles will continue to cook when we mix everything together. For the yakisoba noodles, I boiled them for just 1 minute.

3. 3

   ASSEMBLY: Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet. Add the minced garlic and the whites from the scallions and stir fry for about 30 seconds to a minute or until fragrant. Add the mixed veggies to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies are al dente. Add the cooked noodles to the wok and give everything a good toss. If using cooked protein, add it in at this point. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and toss everything together and let sizzle for 1-2 minutes. Top with the reserved green parts of the scallion and toasted sesame seeds (if desired). Serve immediately!
