Do you make Lo Mein?

[Missourian]

I've been on a lot mein kick this week. Been trying some different sauce combinations.

Easy recipe seems to have a different list of ingredients for the sauce. Some say oyster sauce, some Sriracha, some mirin, for dark soy sauce, some chili sauce, some ginger, some even teriyaki sauce.

I've currently settled on this list from a chow mein recipe but with mirin instead of vinegar and sub honey for sugar.

Anyone have something different they like?

I GET Lo Mein delivered some times. One way they make it is with teriyaki, not sure how the regular is made. It isn't sweet or hot, sort of a brown sauce, I usually get it just with vegetables. It's pretty good, light, but filling.

Mine's a bit simpler, chopped garlic and onions in sesame oil until lightly caramelized, rice wine, dark soy, brown sugar (not very much) and a dash of siracha or chili flakes.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
