Ingredients
8 ounces lo mein noodles
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt to taste
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Crushed red pepper, for serving
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lo mein noodles and cook according to package directions until tender but still slightly firm. Drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove the shrimp and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chopped garlic and the white parts of the scallions, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the trimmed snow peas to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp. Season with kosher salt to taste.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with the cooked noodles. Pour the oyster sauce mixture over the noodles and shrimp. Toss everything together gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles are well coated and heated through.
Divide the lo mein among serving bowls. Garnish with the sliced green parts of the scallions and crushed red pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
