This Chinese-takeout staple usually comes swimming in oil. Not so with this version! Follow this recipe—or add whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand. It’s a great way to use up all those odds and ends in the fridge! Just about any vegetable would be fine. Remember to give firmer vegetables a head start when cooking. Serve the lo mein sprinkled with crushed red pepper or drizzled with sriracha or another hot sauce if you want to add some heat.

Ingredients

Uncooked egg noodles

10 oz, lo mein variety

Dark sesame oil

2 tsp, divided
