I love a good lo mein …. my kids on the other hand, do not. I thought this would be one of the those recipes my kids would love, but they complained all through dinner about how gross it was, it was chewy and disgusting. My daughter even forbid me to never make this recipe again. My husband and I thought it was really good and was packed full of flavor. I might try it again and switch out the sesame oil and see if my kids like it then…..thought I’m not sure I want to hear the complaining again if they don’t. Ha!
This recipe can easily be switched out to include whatever veggies you have on hand. I made it a meatless dish, but a piece of grilled chicken, steak or shrimp would be a great addition.
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced red onion
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup snow peas
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cup vegetable stock
juice of 1 lemon
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
Turn your instant pot to saute. Add the sesame oil and saute the garlic and red onion until tender. Add in the rice wine vinegar, stock, lemon juice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Mix until combined and the sugar has dissolved.
Add the noodles and vegetables. Cover the pot with the lid and make sure the vent is sealed. Cook on manual at high pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure carefully. Stir and serve.
