Lo Mein
A great Lo Mein just comes down to a great SAUCE!
PRINT RECIPE
Lo Mein noodles are yellow noodles that are about 3mm/ 1/8 wide and they are yellow because they are made with egg (as opposed to white noodles). Best if you can find fresh noodles in the fridge section of the grocery store (usually just soak in boiling water for a minute), but can be made with dried egg noodles, ramen OR even pasta (yep really, I've made Lo Mein plenty of times with SPAGHETTI, no one can tell the difference once it's cooked!)

Shanghai-style chow mein is unique because is seasoned with a special umami spice called Xian La Fen (鲜辣粉), which gives the noodles a savory, spicy, and smoky flavor. In this video, I will show you how to make this special Xian La Fen at home and have this authentic shanghai noodle dish at home. This spice powder is versatile; you can sprinkle it onto roasted pork, chicken, bbq, and fries.
Ingredients
To Make The Xian La Fen (Umami Spicy Seasoning)
1/4 cup of dried red chili, cut into small pieces (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of coriander (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of fennel seeds (Amazon Link -
1.5 tsp of Sichuan peppercorn powder (Amazon Link -
1 piece of tangerine peel (1 inch*1 inch), break into small pieces (Purchase Link -
2 tsp of dried ginger slices or ginger powder
1 tbsp of chicken bouillon or 2 tsp of MSG (Amazon Link -
To Marinade the pork
200g (7 oz) of pork, julienned
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of cornstarch (Amazon Link -
White pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
To Stir Fry The Noodles
300 grams (10.6oz) of fresh noodles, thick
1.5 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1.5 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of pork lard to coat the noodles
3-4 baby bok choy, sliced
4 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 of a medium size onion, sliced into strips
3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
2 tbsp of pork lard to stir fry
1.5 tsp of Xian La Fen seasoning
1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds (Amazon Link -
Directions
Make the Xian La Fen (鲜辣粉)
Toast the dried red chili, coriander, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns, dried tangerine peel, and dried ginger in a wok over medium-low heat for a few minutes.
Put the spices into a blender and blend into a fine powder. If you have any spice already in powder form, you can keep it on the side and mix it into the spice mixture at the end.
Optionally, mix the spice powder with 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon powder or 2 tsp of MSG.
Store the Xian La Fen in a sealed container. It will stay good for 4-5 months at room temp. If you don't want to spend the time to make Xian La Fen, you can use a mixture of 3/4 tsp of five-spice, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/4 tsp of MSG in this recipe as a replacement.
Marinade the Pork
Cut the pork into 1/4-inch thick strips, then marinate with salt, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and set it aside. Although you could use other kinds of protein, such as beef and chicken, pork is the classic choice because this dish is also known as 上海肉丝炒面 (Shanghai julienned pork chow mein).
Prepare All the Vegetables
Slice the mushrooms into 1/4 of an inch thick slabs;
Cut the onion into strips;
Slice the garlic thinly; Cut the bok choy diagonally. Set everything aside.
Cook the Noodles
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness and the types of noodles (3-6 minutes). Drain the noodles and shake the excess water.
Season the noodles with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and pork lard. The rest of the heat will melt the fat and coat the noodles, so they don't stick to each other. You can use vegetable oil or butter if you don't like pork fat.
Stir Fry the Noodles
Turn the heat to high and add 2 tbsp of pork lard. Swirl it around to melt it. Toss in the marinaded pork and Stir for a couple of minutes or until you don't see any pink color.
Remove the pork from the wok. Make sure you tilt the wok so you can leave the oil behind.
Add garlic, onion, mushroom slices, and noodles. Stir over high heat for a few minutes.
Add pork and bok choy. Keep mixing for 30 seconds or until the vegetables are welted.
Before serving, add 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds and 1.5 tsp of the Xian La Fen seasoning, which is the soul of Shanghai Chow mein. Toss well and enjoy!
