1. **Marinate the pork:**
– In a small bowl, combine the sliced pork with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. **Prepare the sauce:**
– In another bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, white pepper, and chicken broth (or water). Set aside.
3. **Cook the noodles:**
– Cook the lo mein noodles or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
4. **Stir-fry the pork:**
– In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
5. **Stir-fry the vegetables:**
– In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
– Add the onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, snow peas (or snap peas), and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. **Combine and toss:**
– Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Toss everything together until the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. **Serve:**
– Transfer the Pork Lo Mein to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot.
### Tips:
– **Vegetable variations:** Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand, such as broccoli, bok choy, zucchini, or cabbage.
– **Noodle options:** If you can’t find lo mein noodles, you can use spaghetti, linguine, or even rice noodles as a substitute.
– **Make it spicy:** Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha sauce for a spicy kick.
– **Storage:** Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the best texture.
Enjoy your **Pork Lo Mein**, a delicious and easy dish that’s perfect for any night of the week!
