Ingredients

• 200 grams Chow Mein noodles
• 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 150 grams Scallops, cleaned
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Bok choy, chopped
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Vegetable broth, low-sodium
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the Chow Mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimps and scallops to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the seafood is just cooked through and opaque. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and chopped bok choy. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked seafood to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Toss them together gently.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and vegetable broth. Pour the mixture over the noodles and seafood in the pan.

Step 7

In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the pan and stir well to thicken the sauce.

Step 8

Season with pepper to taste and toss everything together until well combined and coated with the sauce, for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
