Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 lb lo mein noodles
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 6 cloves garlic
- 6 heads broccoli
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
- 2 avocados
- Cashews
- Scallions
- Tamari
Instructions
- Boil the noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large skillet (with a lid) over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and sauté until garlic begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the broccoli and cook, uncovered, for another 3-4 minutes until the bottom of the broccoli browns. Do not stir during this part (it needs to sit long enough to char).
- Once the broccoli is charred, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce to the skillet and stir, then cover and let steam until broccoli is tender, about 3-5 minutes. If the bottom of your pan seems dry, drizzle with additional sesame oil (one teaspoon at a time).
- Add the cooked and drained lo mein noodles to the skillet with the broccoli.
- Stir until everything is combined. The noodles might be sticky, so drizzle them with sesame oil and work them apart with your hands or tongs.
- Add in cashews, avocado, and scallions.
- Season with black sesame seeds, then drizzle with tamari.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, toast the cashews in a dry skillet before adding them to the noodles.
- If you don’t have lo mein noodles, substitute with spaghetti or linguine. Cook time may vary.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, add it just before serving and store leftovers separately.
