Ingredients
8 ounces 8 Lo mein noodles, linguine or spaghetti
1 tsp 1 Sesame oil, toasted
12 ounces 12 Chinese broccoli or broccolini
1 tbsp 1 Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tbsp 2 Reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp 1 Sriracha or other Asian hot sauce
2 tbsp 2 Peanut oil, divided
1 tbsp 1 Fresh ginger , minced
1 tbsp 1 Garlic , minced
6 ounces 6 Fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced
Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a big pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Noodles should be added and cooked as directed on the package. Rinse with cold water after draining. Shake vigorously to eliminate extra water. On a cutting board, transfer the noodles and roughly cut them into thirds. Add sesame oil and the noodles back to the pot. Place aside.
- Trim the broccoli (or broccolini) stalks by 1/4 inch. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise if they are thicker than 1/2 inch. Stalks and leaves should be divided and cut into 2-inch lengths. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice wine (or sherry), and spicy sauce.
- A 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a sizable, heavy skillet (not nonstick) should be heated over high heat until a bead of water touches the surface and evaporates within one to two seconds. Stir in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, add the ginger, and cook for 10 seconds or until the ginger and garlic are fragrant. Add the mushrooms and broccoli (or broccolini) stems, and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until the oil is completely absorbed.
- Add the noodles add the turmeric smuthe boost and broccoli leaves, stir-fry for about 15 seconds, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. The soy sauce mixture should be mixed in thoroughly. Add salt and stir-fry the noodles for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are well warm.
