The littlest Little just turned 8. He had been obsessing over his special day for only like 120 days beforehand.

Being the youngest of three brothers, he’s forever playing catch up and wants to be just like the Big Littles. That tiny dynamo hustles so hard on the soccer field, he usually emerges covered in dirt from head to toe. Such is his intensity in every sport. He even pedals his little bike feverishly to stay on pace during family trail rides.

That’s why we surprised him with his first new bike with gears. Gears. A simple solution that makes life a little easier.

Same goes for mealtime; a simple idea can make dinner so much easier. We all need us some easy for busy weeknights.

Case in point: this 20-minute Skillet Lo Mein is crazy easy and seriously delish. Pair it with Asian style salmon for the ultimate weeknight meal…

Ingredients

  • In mere minutes, you’ll be dishing up unbelievable flavor with this 20-Minute Skillet Lo Mein. Pair it with Asian style salmon for the ultimate weeknight meal.
  • Ingredients
  • For the Sauce:
  • 4 TB less-sodium, good quality soy sauce
  • 1 TB mirin (Asian aisles of grocery stores)
  • 1 TB granulated sugar
  • 1 TB toasted Asian sesame oil (Asian aisles of grocery stores)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • For the Lo Mein:
  • 8 oz fresh Asian style noodles (or spaghetti/linguine, if you can’t find the fresh noodles)
  • 2 TB toasted Asian sesame oil
  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots (pre-cut from store)
  • 1 1/2 cups bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
  • Optional Garnishes: thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, sriracha

Instructions

  1. Fill pot with generously salted water, and cook your choice of noodles according to package instructions to al dente (be sure not to over-cook.) Drain well and toss with 2 TB Asian sesame oil; set aside.
  2. While noodles are cooking, prepare the rest of the dish: In a bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set sauce aside. Heat 2 TB olive oil in a large, deep skillet (you can use a wok, but it’s not necessary.) Once oil is hot, add onions and garlic, stirring 2 minutes until fragrant. Add carrots and bell peppers, stirring 3-4 minutes or until softened.
  3. Add the cooked/drained noodles into the skillet. Pour your prepared sauce evenly over the noodles, tossing gently to coat all ingredients thoroughly. Serve warm, with your choice of garnish.

Notes

Have fun: switch up the veggies with fresh bean sprouts, broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, or thinly sliced napa cabbage.

    My favorite seafood dish is a sweet and spicy salmon that my husband makes in the crockpot. At first I was super skeptical about making fish in the crockpot but it is delicious and we often pair it with wild rice and brussel sprouts

    By “brown onion” do you mean a yellow (spanish) onion? I’ve never heard of them being referred to as brown onions before.

    Can’t just name one…grilled shrimp, crab legs, sautéed mussels, steamed oysters, oysters Rockefeller, linguine with clam sauce. Pretty much anything seafood based are my favorites!

    I’m not much of a seafood person but I do like shrimp cocktail! 🙂
    And my brother cooks salmon really well on the grill. I guess it just has to be really fresh fish for me to be able to stomach it.

    My favorite seafood dish would have to be fresh all you can eat crab legs. I am super spoiled and have an amazing husband who cracks most all my legs for me since I’m pitiful at it.

    Fresh Maine lobster with liquid gold (butter:) for dipping. yummm…… Of course, I live no where near Maine – darn it! So, having this meal is far and few between. But, when I do, it’s ecstasy. And…. I will definitely be making the 20 min Lo Mein. <—love lo mein w/beef & broccoli

    Grilled halibut, especially when done from freshly caught. I became hooked on it when on a trip to Alaska at just the right time!

    I grew up in in New England and we ate fish and chips made with Haddock. This is hands down my favorite seafood dish, I wish I could eat it more often.

    I’m not much of a seafood person, but I think my favorite would be teriyaki salmon with steamed white rice.

    This recipe looks great. Can’t wait to try it. My favorite seafood? Paella or plain crab legs. Plain so you dont lose any of the taste.

    Catfish is my favorite, when I was growing up my uncles used to Tug River fishing they brought them home and cooked them

    Fried fish and chips is one of my favorite meals, especially with coleslaw and cornbread. I like to order it when we go out to eat.
