How To Make shrimp lo mein

  • 1
    Lo Mein Noodles soaked for about 10-15 minutes until they are pliable, and about 90% saturated. Then drain and coat with Sesame Oil to prevent from sticking
  • 2
    About an hour before preparing, place shrimp in a cover-able bowl with 2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce and a half tsp of Miso Ho-Nee Asian Blend and mix thoroughly to coat all shrimp. Let marinate for about an hour in refrigerator.
  • 3
    In a large, deep skillet or wok, saute onion, garlic and tomato in about 1-2 Tbsp of sesame oil with a pinch of Miso Ho-Nee Asian Blend for about a minute until onions start to become translucent.
  • 4
    Take shrimp out of marinade and place in pan and saute for about a minute or two, to gently brown. Add the remaining marinade and stir to coat contents of the pan and saute for an additional minute.
  • 5
    Add bok choy, broccoli, pea pods, baby corn, 2 tbsp soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, vinegar, Sweet & Sour sauce, Oyster sauce, and Sherry and mix thoroughly. Let saute for about 2-3 minutes until bok choy and Peas become bright green. Then place shrimp, veggies and sauce in a bowl and set aside.
  • 6
    Add about 1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil to pan and place the soaked noodles with about 2 tbsp of the sauce from the veggies and shrimp and saute for about 2 minutes. If the pan seems dry and the noodles are sticking, can add a little more of the sauce from the veggies.
  • 7
    Once the noodles are a little crispy, add the veggies and shrimp back to the pan and mix thoroughly.
  • 8
    Allow the shrimp and veggies to heat through for about 2 minutes.
  • 9
    Enjoy.
