Today we are going to make 蚝油捞面. Lo means to stir or mix in Cantonese. Mein means noodles. The name of this dish literally means oyster sauce mixed with noodles. It is an HK classic and it is going to be the easiest noodle recipe that you will ever see - only 5 ingredients are included! It might not look as colorful as other lo mein recipes, but it is surprisingly delicious. The oyster sauce really stands out and you can get a slight nuttiness from the peanut oil. You will never believe that a few simple ingredients, put together can be so tasty. I literally can not stop eating it.

INGREDIENTS (serve 2)
- 2 portions of noodles (I used fresh egg noodles, about 300 g)
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp of oyster sauce
- 2 to 3 tbsp of peanut oil
- 1.5 tsp of dark soy sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook 2 portions of egg noodle until done. Fresh noodles only take a couple of minutes. If you used dried noodles, please follow the cooking instructions on the package.
While the noodles are being cooked, heat your wok to smoking hot. Then add 2-3 tbsp of oil. I prefer peanut oil because the nuttiness makes the noodle extra tasty. Once the oil starts smoking, turn off the heat (See tips 3)
By now, the noodles should be ready. Quickly take them out. Shake off the excess water and dump it into the wok along with 3 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1.5 tsp of dark soy sauce. Stir to mix well.
Give it a try to adjust the flavor because every brand of oyster sauce and soy sauce have a different level of sodium.
TIPS
1. Use a good quality oyster sauce since it is the key flavor. It decides whether this dish gonna come out good or not.
2. You can add some toasted sesame oil at the end if you like. I don’t because I used peanut oil already.
3. The reason I turned off the heat right before I add the noodles is that we are making Lo Mein, all you need to do is to stir and mix. If you keep the heat on, then, you are making Chao Mein, which means stir fry noodles. That will be a different cooking method. I will talk about it another day.
Finally noodles without veggies. As much as veggies are fun. I’ve always wanted this dish plain
Right! Saaaame! Lol
Me tooo
My son don't eat meat and don't won't vege6 all the time. This great for him.
Same. My main dish already has the protein and veggies
If you order take out you can ask for any flavor lo mein without veggies or without any toppings! I recommend shrimp lo mein without any veggies if you dont like seafood then you can get chicken or beets lo mein without any veggies
Thank you, never really knew the difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
I love this recipe thank you
don't confuse east coast vs West coast chow mein though, totally different dish.
Whats the diff?
@@Niniisaac Did you not watch/listen to this video? The difference is that lo mein is just the noodles stirred with the sauces off the heat. Chow mein is *fried* noodles, so you stir them with the sauces while still on the heat.
It's nearly 1am. I'm stuck at work. And now all I desperately want in the world is some lo mein.
I have a sad.
This recipe really looks lo mein-tenance!
Genius comment 😂
🤦♂️

Lol 👏🏽
I would love a video of you taking us into your favorite Asian mart and showing us what you buy, your favorite brands and staples to have in your pantry for cooking. Please and thank you 🙏🏼
I am a home cook and I am getting into the Asian foods, Thai, Chinese, Korean. I am so Happy I found you on UA-cam!!! I was looking for pasta/noodle recipes I just got the Kitchenaid pasta attachments and I found your noodle recipe. I am now going through all your amazing recipes! Thank you for explaining everything so well. The difference between good and cheaper, and what to use! I am an instant Fan and can't wait to make your recipes! I am making noodles tomorrow and I will make sure I make enough to use in the Lo Mein and the Beef Lo Mein recipes! Ciao!
I make this regularly, and always use peanut oil (more expensive, but definitely worth it!), however: I never turned off my wok, which, as I find out now, is the correct thing to do! I was making Chow Mein all along and didn’t know it! 🤭... thanks for the explanation! I do not use the sweet (dark) soy sauce, but definitely will! I WANT that color on my noodles and a little seems to go a very long way in achieving that! Just like restaurant quality. I’ve also added green onion to this, as a garnish at the end, and it delicious! A great, quick and easy meal for a family of four after an exhausting day and when you don’t want to cook for an hour. THANKS!
IF you have any leftover protein, this would be great time to use it ....
What's with the "sweet dark soy sauce"? Is it mentioned in this video and somehow I missed it? In all the Lo Mein Noodles recipes that I found online, only the dark soy sauce is listed, which I suppose it refers to the Chinese dark sauce, not to the Indonesian Kecap Manis. Though... it would make more sense to also use a sweet sauce in this recipe. Isn't oyster + soy + dark soy sauce insanely salty?!?
@@Minkkifly not the dark soyce, besides you make it as salty or less salty..as you want
@@Minkkifly Yes, the Lee Kum Kee oyster is extremely salty but is the most flavorful oyster sauce out of the couple of brands on the asian market. You can def substitute with Panda oyster sauce, which is less salty.
@@taotzu1339 Thanks for your reply. I never tried the Lee Kum Kee premium oyster, since it's very hard to find in my country (Romania). I use Megachef instead, which doesn't seem that salty to me.
However, I use both of the soy sauces recommended by
Souped Up Recipes as the best - Lee Kum Kee dark sauce & Pearl River Bridge light sauce, and when these 2 are combined with the oyster = salt bomb! :) The same sensation I get from the light soy sauce + fish sauce + oyster.
The curious thing is that I always liked very salty foods, but this Asian level of saltiness is ridiculously high for me :) There's always the option to reduce the amount of sauce used, like @Nick Iseb suggested, but I like the noodles well coated in sauce, less of it leaves the noodles drier.
For now, I think I'm gonna stick with the noodles recipes that also include sugar, to tone down a bit the saltiness.
For my 1st ever Chinese dish I made your pork with chili peppers and my son and his friend said it was the best meal I've ever made them! Thanx for these videos and keep them coming! I hope you have a moo goo gain pan video...That's gonna be my next adventure
I’m making this recipe for dinner tonight. I’m gonna add green onions, garlic and thai pepper
Hmmmmm that sounds so good 🤤🤤
You can add whatever to this recipe... a side of steam broccoli would be nice too.
Why don't you use a stir fry sauce to it? It's gorgeous
Spot on!!!!
I am by no means a pro. I made this, thanks to your comprehensive instructions and it was absolutely delicious! Truly! Thank you so much!
this woman is so adorable! i love her and her recepies.
@Club Soda yo
I really like her too!
A lot of charisma!
monobloc i agree, she really keeps you watching! Cute, and i love to learn great new recipes.
@Club Soda 💀💀💀
Mandy, I’ve searched for a plain lo mein recipe for my son who is sick. He can only eat soft chopped foods and lo mein is one of his favorites. Thank you for letting me give this to him again. Picking veggies out of the dish is frustrating. (P.S. Your beef lo mein is spectacular. I’ve already made it twice and my husband wants it again.)
I'm not very skilled in the kitchen, but I was able to make this recipe and it tasted delicious. I'm really grateful towards you, greetings from the Caribbean ❤
Made this recipe today for the first time and it came out delicious, I followed recipe exactly but adjusted the amount of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce so it wasn't too salty and topped with a drizzle of sesame oil & sesame seeds. Such an easy to make dish full of flavor, Thank You for teaching us all so many wonderful recipes!
I tried this recipe with both dried and fresh homemade noodles, and both are absolutely fantastic! So simple yet so delicious! It's a must try!
I like you...I don’t know exactly all the reasons...I could watch you cook AND EDUCATE all day! Maybe that’s one of the main reasons I like you...you are calm, your videos don’t have silly distracting music or graphics....you just share generously and educate! Please keep making videos!
THIS is what I was looking for!!! I love love LOVE plain lo mein without the texture of veggies. Pasta + veggie slivers is just not a texture I can handle but I love the flavor of lo mein.
I have one restaurant near me that serves it plain and I order from them all the time but having a simple recipe I can make myself just makes things 10 times better and cheaper.
Thanks for sharing this. I cant wait to try it myself!
I made this and it was AWESOME! I didn’t have dark soy sauce so I used Golden dragon Teriyaki. So good. Thank you for sharing.
Once again Mandy this recipe was fantastic! "Better than Take Out" is an understatement. Thanks again!
I know there will be scoffers, but due to me living in a food desert, I used angel hair pasta. Sure it's not authentic, but guess what? It was delicious.
I ONLY have angelhair in my pantry that & some green onions in the fridge, that’s why Im here lol so don’t worry my friend in with you
The texture of angels hair pasta is great!
Got my kitchen aid and pasta attachment today got off work at 11. Made the dough at 10:30. Rolled it out and right into the water after that and it’s now 12:08 and I feel like it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Best 275$ I ever spent lol
I didn’t have dark soy sauce, but even without it the Lo mein tasted sooo good
Mandy, you have the best recipes on youtube. Thank you for teaching us.
you post so infrequently i forget how much i like your videos!!!
THANK YOU my friend! You are so kind to share such with us!!!
This is so easy to do and is it ever good. We use regular spaghetti egg noodles and undercook them a half minute. When done they come out perfect.
I can't believe how good this turned out. I used the yellow soybean noodles from Aldi because I am on a low carb diet for health reasons. It came out beautiful! I got some *toasted* sesame oil and it was amazing. Thank you!!
Sounds like a amazing recipe you got there.
I happened to have most of the ingredients, and a huge craving for low mein, but I had to use instant ramen noodles, and canola oil, but with a dash of sesame oil in the end, just like you suggested, i'm sooooooo happy with th outcome!!! Thank you for uploading! I've been subscribed for a while ♥
Really good recipe. I was searching for what I can replace instant noodles with bc I'm trying to tone down on preservatives. With this recipe and how to make egg noodles, I think I'm set. I don't have access to peanut oil so I used vegetable oil + crushed peanuts. Yummy!
I too have to use vegetable oil. Peanut oil is way out of my price range with inflation now. I do love it but just can't afford it.
Thank you for including the links to the products you use. It is so helpful.
Hi Mandy...Thank Goodness for your Recipes and video instructions that are the best! Keep up the good work and look forward to more. Take care, stay safe
I'm going to get a pint of lo mein from a local restaurant but tomorrow I'm heading for an Asian market for the real deal ingredients. This video looks exactly like what I order when I buy lo mein. Thank you.
I've been making all of these dishes and not once have I been disappointed. I stuck to the exact recipes as well . The oyster sauce is a must .
You always make me sooo hungry! Thanks for the recipe. Looking forward to the next one(with beef & veggies) you have tempted us with.
This is the best video for lo mein, nothing fancy, just the heart of what lo mein is.
I've tried so many of your recipes. I haven't ordered take out in a long time because of your channel. Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
As a student who don't have much spare time to cook by myself, simple recipe like this is what i need.... Definitely gonna try this recipe.
I love your recipes, your site, and your Amazon links to the ingredients you use. Very helpful. Thank you so much.
I learned something new today, thanks Mandy!
Wow, what a fun, quick meal! Thanks for making these videos, Mandy. Several of these recipes have made their way into my (and ill bet tons of others) regular meal rotation.
Omg, I just made this dish and it's so easy -- and super delicious! Thank you so much!
This looks awesome! Subscribed!
Beautiful table! Thanks, I am learning lots from your videos.
I love every single one of her videos. 🥰 she has such a cool way of sharing recipes.
I just got done eating this! It was so good! I made it with vegetarian oyster sauce and my kids ate every last bite. Thanks!
Love watching your Chanel!!! You're one of the best👍
Thank you for your simple recipe, I am fond of noodles, my family in fact tease me a lot because, whenever we go to restaurant, I always order noodles every time.
I miss you posting. I love all of your recipes. Thank You
My go to recipe! It's great for picky kids too. Thank you 🩷
Omg’sh I am so stoked to try this recipe out. I’ve started making stir fry and was looking for a recipe with noodles and found this adorable little lady, pretty much fell for her and now I can’t wait to try all of these recipes. Just awaiting my delivery 📦
I tried this recipe and it was delicious! I didn't have a wok so I used a deep pan. Tastes just like the restaurants and less expensive. Thank you!
That live edge table is terrific.
even learning that 150g is enough for one serving is very useful , thank you for your videos
Your channel is astonishing and wonderful. Thank you for sharing all of my favorite recipes.
I really love the umami flavour oyster sauce adds to a dish. I add about a teaspoon to my 2 minute chicken noodles & it's just delicious! Also like to add some minced garlic & chopped spring onions.
Sometimes I put sunny side up egg on it, it's the best breakfast/dinner, thanks for the vid
So easy. I made her beef and broccoli and couldn't believe how fast and easy it was if you have all her suggested ingredients. And it tasted like restaurant style. So yummy, my mother loved it too.
So simple. So delicious! Thank you so much for all your hard work. 💕
She's so cute! I love her cute voice, and the way she talks...thank you for this recipe.
Just made that for my family, and it was really good , very fresh. I added onions and yellow peppers , very delicious. Thank you for your recipe and showing step by step on how to prepare.
I didn't have dark soy sauce. I used Kitchen Bouquet and it worked! I thought it might be a good substitute because it has a similar flavor and color to dark soy sauce. Might not be authentic, but it works.
TY for the video, I am going to try this very very soon!
I tried recipe out and had a delicious result. Very outstanding.
Oh thank you so much ! I’m going to try this today .
We used spaghetti noodles but all the rest was what you used. It was excellent! My wife is from Java and I"m German American. We cook Asian food and this was simple and fast. She really liked it! Thanks.
Thanks a million Dear Mandy🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹👏 and 新年快乐祝你的身体健康🌹🌹🌹🌹😍
My little sister always orders her Lomé in plain. I thought she was weird till I tasted it. It was DELICIOUS!
Lomé

Looks delish!
Thank you for this recipe, I tried it with spaghetti noodles, garlic and spring onions. Wow I could eat this every day.
You teach the best recipes, I have allready made your chow mein and stir fried pork many times !!!!
I am going to try cooking this in the next few days. I have to buy some of the ingredients, like the ginger and oyster sauce. This will be the first time I have tried cooking any Chinese cuisine, wish me luck!
good luck
You have just unlocked a noodle secret for us. Thank you so very much!
I made this Lo Mein Noodles dish tonight for supper, after making the noodles from scratch, I was in the kitchen from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, all for 15 minutes of some awesome flavours, also made the egg roll wraps from scratch, the veggie egg rolls were so crispy and light we really enjoyed them. I give this recipe and technique a 5 star rating. I’m not very good on the rolling pin but managed to get it done 🥵
Your are the best. Thank you for tbe recepie. I'm making it all the way here from Puerto Rico
Great recipe I am going to make this for my kids bcuz they don't like to much veggies
It’s so easy and delicious! Thank you 😊
Mmmmm pure minimalist joy!
I guess soon I'll be found eating noodles in every meal 😂😁😀
aviana emerson I’ll gladly get fat with you! 😂
Yes Sir add me
It looks so delicious how could we not have them every day.

Never again am i going to order just noodles at a restaurant. I am so glad i found yalls channel!!!
I reccomend adding cashew nuts for texture
Hello onni 😊😊 thank you sooo much for the recipes 😭💗 I always watch your great videos 😚😚 I love you ♥️♥️
The most simple cooking noodles that I have ever seen. I'd like to try sometimes.
Thank you watching from Jamaica
No joke, the BEST lo mein I've ever had. The peanut oil makes all the difference!!!
Wow your good at this, I've seen several video, I'm making this soon... I wish I had bought the oyster sauce when I had it in my hand....
Thank you so much for showing video of where to get the noodles at the store and what they look like! That is so so helpful. I can't wait to try this recipe.
I do love her channel so much! She makes it look so easy! Also, I love the “Hi Everyoooonnnneee!” She is the cutest.
Best Chinese food channel on UA-cam. 👍
Thank you for a detailed explanation; this is comfort food at its best for me. Plain homemade egg noodles with simple but high quality seasoning are delicious. I also like it with vegetables and a bit of tofu or seitan, but it isn’t necessary.
I love your channel and I have made so many of your delicious recipes from Beef&Broccolli, Sesame Chicken, Pepper steak, Egg fried rice, Mongolian Beef to name a few. My family thanks you for that ❤️🙌🏽 I also bought your wok and it’s a masterpiece 👌🏾I highly recommended!! I’m five months pregnant and experiencing cravings right now and I saw this recipe and of course I had all (from all your recipes from your channel) ingredients in my pantry except the egg noodles so I made it with ramen noodles in less than 10 minutes!! Annnnd to no surprise it came out delishhh💁🏽♀️👏🏽
Omg this was so yum 😋…. So easy
I made. Few small changes. Hope you don't mind. I added one chopped garlic clove because I like garlic. Since I didn't have peanut oil, I added the sesame oil at the end as you suggested, plus a little Sriracha sauce to give it some "bite." Very good lunch. Thank you.
Minimalist cooking. Thank you !
If you like you can just add green onions and white onions as vegetables, and I also throw in beacon and sausage as meat.
Look so delicious I love noodles and thanks for sharing friend. Always
Quick easy and delicious. Thank you.
No one wants to talk about that beautiful table she is sitting at?. ..
How about her channel's logo on the wall?
Nice setup that ordinarily would not be distracting from the subject matter of the video. Clean and simple yet elegant in its own right.
I've always been curious of how to do this... Thank you!
