Cantonese egg noodles in a glossy sauce

Lo mein means “tossed noodles” and differs from chow mein in that the boiled noodles are merely tossed with the sauce, not fried crisp.

Soft egg noodles are tossed with vegetables and a sauce of soy and oyster sauce until every strand glistens – a quick, savoury classic.
