In this video, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt shows how to make a simple and delicious dish of buttered lo mein with oyster sauce. The recipe is based on a dish that Lopez-Alt saw from Chinese Cooking Demystified, and it is made with just three ingredients: lo mein noodles, greens, and oyster sauce.
Lopez-Alt starts by cooking the lo mein noodles according to the package directions. As the noodles cook, he adds some greens to the pot for the last 30 seconds of cooking time. Once the noodles and greens are cooked, Lopez-Alt drains them and adds them to a bowl with some butter and oyster sauce. He then stirs the ingredients together until they are well-combined.
The finished dish is a flavorful and satisfying one that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The butter and oyster sauce give the lo mein a rich and umami flavor, and the greens add a bit of freshness. The dish is also kid-friendly, making it a great option for families.
Enjoy!
