Sauce:

- 3 tablespoons water, estimate as needed
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce, adjust to taste
Everything Lo Mein:
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, split into portions
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 chicken breast cutlets, sliced thin into strips
- 3 thin-cut pork chops, sliced thin into strips
- Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 inches fresh ginger, chopped or grated
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 6 scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces then sliced lengthwise
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, quartered, seeded, and sliced
- 1 small can sliced water chestnuts
- 2 cups fresh bean sprouts, about 4 generous handfuls, or 1/2 pound shredded cabbage, your choice
- Combine all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the spaghetti until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the beaten eggs and scramble until lightly golden, then remove and set aside.
- Season the meats with salt, pepper, and coriander. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet until it ripples, then add the meat and stir-fry for about 4 minutes. Push the meat to one side of the pan and add the ginger, garlic, and vegetables. Stir-fry the veggies for 2 minutes.
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it back to the skillet along with the scrambled eggs. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together. Turn off the heat and let the ingredients sit for 30 seconds, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquids to absorb.
