Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles

Meat

  • 8 oz pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, thinly sliced

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (divided: some for cooking, some for garnish)

Vegetables (optional)

  • 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snow peas

Oil for cooking

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable or neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice the pork thinly against the grain for tenderness. Beat the eggs lightly. Mince garlic, ginger, chop green onions, and prepare any optional vegetables. Boil the lo mein noodles according to package instructions, drain well, and set aside.
  2. Cook the Pork: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, pour in the beaten eggs. Let cook undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently scramble into soft curds. Once cooked, remove or push to the side of the pan.
  4. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add more oil if needed. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the optional vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Combine and Toss: Return the pork and eggs to the skillet and add the drained noodles. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss all ingredients together thoroughly to coat evenly with the sauce.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top. Give the dish a final toss and serve hot, enjoying the blend of savory pork, tender eggs, and saucy noodles.

Notes

  • Use fresh noodles if possible for better texture and sauce absorption.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; stir-fry in batches if necessary to ensure proper caramelization.
  • For extra tenderness, marinate pork slices briefly in soy sauce and cornstarch.
  • Cook on high heat to lock in flavor and maintain crisp ingredients.
  • Reserve some green onions to garnish raw for added freshness.
