Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce Substitute with soy sauce for vegetarian option.
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce Regular soy sauce can be used if unavailable.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce Adjust based on personal taste.
For the Noodles

Equipment

  • wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the fresh egg noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Place a large wok on the stove and turn the heat to high. Heat until it starts to slightly smoke, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the peanut oil, swirling to ensure even coverage.
  3. Carefully transfer the drained noodles into the hot wok, tossing them to coat in the peanut oil. Drizzle in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, blending together with a spatula.
  4. Continue tossing the noodles in the wok for an additional minute, allowing them to fry slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  5. Remove from heat and transfer the savory Plain Lo Mein Noodles to serving plates. Optionally, top with green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
