Garlic Broccoli Lo Mein

Jump to Recipe

This Garlic Broccoli Lo Mein is a perfect weeknight meal… it can be made in one pot and in under 30 minutes! We love Chinese food in our house but don’t love that it can be one of the most unhealthy take out options. This recipe for Garlic Broccoli Lo Mein hit the spot for our Chinese food craving.

Garlic Broccoli Lo Mein

The Lo Mein noodles and sesame oil can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets. Even though this recipe is vegan you could easily add some stir fried pork, chicken or beef if you prefer; simply double the sauce to have enough to coat the entire dish.

Garlic Broccoli Lo Mein

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Lo mein noodles covered in a soy garlic sauce and loaded with carrots and broccoli.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups broccoli, chopped (about 2 heads)
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 12 oz lo mein
  • 1/2 cup garlic, minced (about 1 bulb)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dry ginger
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil, plus more for cooking
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Chop broccoli, carrots and garlic.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and carrots. Cook 3 minutes.
  3. Add lo mein to pot and cook 3-5 minutes or until tender. It cooks quickly so keep a close eye on it.
  4. While cooking the vegetables and noodles, in a small mixing bowl combine soy sauce, ginger, 1/4 cup sesame oil and cornstarch. Whisk to combine.
  5. Once lo mein is tender pour into a strainer and drizzle lightly with sesame oil to keep from sticking together.
  6. Return the empty pot to the stove and add a tsp of sesame oil and garlic. Cook 3 minutes.
  7. Add sauce and stir to cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  8. Remove pot from the heat and add lo mein and vegetables back to the pot. Toss to coat with sauce.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Lo Mein noodles can be found in most grocery stores in the asian foods section.

    My entire family enjoyed this for dinner tonight! My son even asked to have the leftovers in his lunch for tomorrow. 🙌🏻 We added rotisserie chicken on top and didn’t use as much garlic. It was delicious!
