Instructions
Warm the avocado oil and sesame oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. The surface should look fluid and shimmer slightly before the proteins go in.
Add the shrimp and chicken, then stir fry for about 3 minutes until cooked through. The shrimp should turn opaque and the chicken strips should lose their raw-looking centers.
Transfer the cooked shrimp and chicken to a plate. Removing them now prevents the proteins from tightening while the vegetables cook.
Place the minced ginger and garlic in the empty pan and cook for about 2 minutes. The aromatics should smell fragrant before they begin to brown.
Add the bell pepper, snow peas, bean sprouts, scallions, and Napa cabbage, then stir fry for 3-4 minutes. Pull the pan from the heat while the vegetables are just softened and still brightly colored.
Pour in the dark soy sauce, sweetener, rice wine vinegar, and lime juice, then cook for 2 minutes. The liquid should bubble and look slightly glossier as the flavors come together.
Return the shrimp and chicken to the pan with the spaghetti squash strands and miracle noodles. Turn everything until the sauce coats the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Serve the lo mein hot and garnish with cilantro if desired. The finished dish should look glossy, aromatic, and lightly saucy rather than wet.
Notes
Noodle prep: Rinse and drain the miracle noodles thoroughly, then dry-fry them in a warm ungreased pan until they squeak to prevent excess liquid from thinning the sauce.Protein tip: Stir fry the shrimp and chicken first and transfer them to a plate immediately so they stay tender and plump while the vegetables cook.Vegetable texture: Keep the heat high and the vegetables moving constantly. Remove them from heat as soon as the cabbage wilts while the snow peas remain bright and crisp.Storage and reheating: Store cooled leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a hot skillet just until warm to keep the vegetables and noodles from becoming soggy.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes.
