Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the oil (it will smoke slightly), then immediately add the snow peas, peppers, mushrooms, green onions, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 1 minute to infuse the oil with flavor, then add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles and toss to distribute the ingredients evenly. Add the tamari soy sauce and toss to coat the noodles evenly. Transfer the lo mein to a serving platter and drizzle with dark sesame oil.

Wok oil infused with ginger and garlic. It can be found in supermarkets' global cuisine sections.
