Step 3: Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package directions, usually about 4-5 minutes. You want them just tender, not mushy. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss with a tiny bit of oil to prevent sticking. This is where many home cooks go wrong by overcooking the noodles.
Step 4: Stir-Fry the Vegetables
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the broccoli and carrots first since they take longer to cook. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green. Add the onions and cook another 2 minutes. Push vegetables to the side and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the center. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burned.
Step 5: Combine the Lo Mein
Add the cooked noodles to the wok with the vegetables. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Pour this sauce over the noodles and toss everything together using tongs for about 2 minutes. The noodles should be evenly coated and heated through. The high heat creates those delicious slightly charred edges that make restaurant Vegetable Lo Mein with Glazed Chicken Wings so irresistible.
Step 6: Glaze the Wings
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over them and toss gently but thoroughly until every wing is coated with that beautiful sticky sauce. If you want extra glaze, you can double the recipe. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if using.
Step 7: Serve
Plate the lo mein on a large serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the glazed wings alongside or on a separate plate. The combination of the savory noodles with the sweet and sticky wings creates a balanced meal that satisfies multiple cravings at once.
