1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the lo mein noodles

8 oz lo mein noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic minced
¾ cup broccoli cut into florets
2 whole carrots cut into thin strips
1 medium red bell pepper cut into thin strips
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce; soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, sriracha, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside.
Heat oil over a large skillet on medium heat. Add the garlic, broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Saute the veggies for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked noodles along with the sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss the noodles until well combined for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and green onions and serve the noodles while it's still warm.

Notes

Cook the noodles according to the package and set them aside before you stir fry the veggies.
Prepare the sauce while the noodles cook.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to make the sauce mild or spicy.
Chop your veggies into similar size pieces, so they cook evenly.
Don’t overcook the veggies. They should be crisp-tender.
Add the garlic last when stir-frying the vegetables so it doesn’t burn.
Use two wooden spoons to toss everything together in the pan.
Don’t skip the garnish.
Serve immediately.
