Preparation

Step 1

Stir together broth, oyster sauce, cornstarch and sesame oil. Set aside.

In wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat; sauté shrimp until pink and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes. Remove to plate.

In large saucepan of boiling water, cook noodles according to package instructions; drain.

Meanwhile, add remaining oil to wok; sauté carrot, snow peas, mushrooms and garlic over medium-high heat until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bok choy; sauté just until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in broth mixture, shrimp and noodles. Cook, tossing, until sauce is thickened and noodles are coated, about 1 minute.

Change it up - Tofu Lo Mein: Omit shrimp. Reduce vegetable oil to 2 tsp; use to cook vegetables only. Add 450 g fried tofu balls along with broth mixture. (Look for tofu balls near the wonton wrappers and tofu in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.)
