Sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Lo Mein
- 8 oz lo mein noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
- 1 large carrot, julienne
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp oil for frying
Instructions
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine the vegetable broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Whisk until everything comes together. Set aside.
- Cook the vegetables: In a preheated skillet with oil, fry the carrots until golden brown. Remove and set aside. Repeat this with the onions, broccoli, and bell peppers. Cooking the vegetables separately creates the best flavors.

- Remove from the heat and serve right away.

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions before adding them to the skillet. Cooking the vegetables separately helps develop their flavor. Serve immediately after tossing the noodles with the sauce.
