Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Egg noodles (1 serving)
  • Bean sprouts (1 handful)
  • Korean green chili peppers (5-6)
  • Shiitake mushrooms (2)
  • Garlic (3 cloves)
  • Eggs (2)
  • Cooking oil (2 tbsp)
  • Water (a little)
  • Soy sauce (2 tbsp)
  • Vinegar (1/2 tbsp)
  • Sugar (1 tbsp)
  • Salt (a pinch)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the Korean green chili peppers into bite-sized pieces, remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice them, and thinly slice the garlic.
  2. In a bowl, crack 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt, then beat well until smooth to make the egg mixture.
  3. Mix the water, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar together to create a savory and slightly tangy stir-fry sauce.
  4. Cook the egg noodles in boiling water, drain without rinsing in cold water, and lightly coat with cooking oil while still hot.
  5. Heat oil in a pan, add the egg mixture to make a soft scramble, then add the garlic, shiitake mushrooms, and Korean green chili peppers, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  6. When the vegetables are slightly cooked, add the oiled noodles, sauce, and scrambled eggs, stir-fry over high heat until the sauce is absorbed, then add the bean sprouts and toss gently with residual heat to finish.
  1. Slice the Korean green chili peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and garlic; prepare the egg mixture.
  2. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water to make the Lo Mein sauce.
  3. Cook the egg noodles and coat with oil without rinsing in cold water.
  4. Stir-fry garlic, vegetables, and eggs in a pan, then add noodles and sauce over high heat, finishing with bean sprouts.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not rinse the cooked egg noodles in cold water, or they will lose their characteristic chewy and tender texture; coating with oil while hot is crucial.
  • Add the bean sprouts at the very end and let the residual heat gently wilt them so they remain crunchy.
