How To Make shrimp lo mein (authentic)

Step 1

Cook spaghetti in lightly salted water until slightly firm to the bite, approximately 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, fish sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, 5-spice powder and red pepper flakes in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet, electric frying pan or wok over medium heat. Cook shrimp 1-2 minutes, just until they change color; remove to plate and set aside.
Step 4

Cook broccoli and carrots 3-5 minutes, covered. Add mushrooms and sugar snap peas; cook another 1-2 minutes. Add onion and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add chopped garlic. Stir. Cover and cook until all vegetables just begin to soften. Return reserved cooked shrimp to pan. Add sauce and cooked spaghetti, stir to coat evenly. Cook and stir until hot and evenly mixed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
Step 5

Optional: garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
