A savory and flavorful Beef Lo Mein with tender slices of beef, fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked noodles, all tossed together in a rich, aromatic sauce.

  • Total Time: 25-27 minutes
  • Yield: 2-3 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Lo Mein:
  • 400g (14 oz) fresh Lo Mein noodles (or cooked egg noodles)
  • 250g (9 oz) beef sirloin, tenderloin, rump, or any tender cut of beef
  • 34 mushrooms (sliced)
  • 23 spring onions (cut into 2″ pieces)
  • 1 bell pepper (julienned)
  • 23 cabbage leaves (thinly sliced)
  • 56 snow peas
  • 1 small carrot (julienned)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • For the Beef Marinade:
  • 1 tbsp sauce mix (from the sauce ingredients)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Blanch the Noodles: Blanch the fresh Lo Mein noodles with hot water for 1-2 minutes, drizzle with sesame oil, and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables and Beef: Wash and cut all vegetables into slices. Slice the beef thinly against the grain.
  4. Marinate the Beef: Marinate the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef slices. Flatten the beef in the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add Vegetables: Add the vegetables, starting with the harder ones (carrot, bell pepper), and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Create space in the middle of the wok, add the noodles, and pour the sauce mixture over the noodles. Toss all ingredients together for 2-3 minutes until everything is well-coated and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally top with extra chopped spring onions and chili oil for extra flavor and heat. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Noodles: You can use fresh or pre-cooked egg noodles as a substitute for Lo Mein noodles.
  • Customize: Feel free to add other vegetables like bok choy or mushrooms, or adjust the sauce to your preference.
