Lo Mein with Broccolini

Who doesn’t love noodles, especially those of us who try to watch their carbs through the week..

I recently purchased a bottle of dark soy sauce at a local Asian store. I love going into that huge, mega store. I can’t recognize majority of those ingredients but it is so much fun to roam through the isles. I try to use a little amount of soy sauce since it has so much sodium. With the dark soy sauce, a little goes a long way..

• 8 oz lo mein, cooked according to package directions, drained with couple drops of sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
• 3 to 4 green onions, chopped fine
• 3 garlic cloves, grated
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 8 oz broccolini, chopped
• 1 to 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• ¼ cup mushroom or chicken broth

Heat a wok like saucepan with the oil. Add the green onions, garlic and ginger. Saute for a 1 to 2 minutes on high heat, stirring constantly. Add the broccolini and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to cook the broccolini. Add the soy sauce and cooked noodles. Mix well and check for seasonings. Serve warm.
