Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Lo Mein
  1. Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions, about 8–10 minutes in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with a small drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until shimmering.
  3. Add the sliced onions and a sprinkle of sugar to the hot oil. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and raw shrimp. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  5. Incorporate the chopped baby bok choy and julienned carrots into the pan. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  6. Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vegetable broth, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
