Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hot water, sugar, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside for later.

Prepare your stir-fry components: slice the roast pork (char siu) into thin strips, mince the garlic, and prep the vegetables. Julienne the carrots, slice the mushrooms and cabbage, and trim the snow peas so everything is ready to go.

Prepare the noodles: If using pre-cooked lo mein noodles, rinse them under hot tap water to loosen the strands and drain thoroughly. If using dry noodles, cook them according to the package instructions until al dente, rinse in cold water to remove excess starch, and drain well.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
