THE EASIEST LO MEIN RECIPE – MADE WITH SPAGHETTI NOODLES

This is one of those recipes that was developed out of necessity. We were craving takeout lo mein – but our favorite spot was closed for the evening.

So we found ourselves asking the question… Can you make lo mein with spaghetti? The reply was decisive: Hey, why not?!

This spaghetti lo mein is loaded with the sweet and savory bite of soy sauce, sake, shaoxing wine and oyster sauce. Broccoli, snow peas and water chestnuts deliver a great crunch and color.

And we added a bit of Chinese sausage to the mix as a little experiment (yes… it was awesome).

But the best part about this recipe is that you can use whatever you have handy. The second best part: it’s so easy to make in your rice cooker!

HOW TO MAKE LO MEIN SPAGHETTI IN A RICE COOKER

To start, place the sliced carrots, garlic and onion in the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional ric e cooker – along with all your liquid ingredients (check the ingredients tab on this page for specifics).

Use the Slow Cook setting for 30 minutes. When there’s just 10 minutes of cook-time remaining, add your snow peas, broccoli and water chestnuts to the mix.

As for the pasta, just boil on your stovetop until al dente. Drain your cooked pasta – and add it to the lo mein sauce in your rice cooker (after the cooking cycle has finished).

Mix well, and add a little sesame oil – then serve it up!

This lo mein spaghetti is so delicious, don’t be surprised if everyone around the table demands seconds.
