Lo mein is a popular Chinese dish made from wheat noodles, typically served with vegetables, some types of meat, or seafood, though fish is never included. Soy sauce is an essential ingredient in the noodles, imparting the fifth taste, umami, or "sensation of pleasure." Lo mein can also be prepared without meat, making it a great option for vegetarians. It's a delicious, healthy, and filling dish that doesn't take long to prepare.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Combine 0.5 cups rice vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved, then turn off the heat. Place the cucumbers, radishes, turnips, and jalapeño peppers in a small bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over them. Let sit for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup of onion with the remaining 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt in a medium heatproof bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot oil over the onion mixture, stir, and let it sit for 20 minutes until completely cool.

Place everything in a food processor and pulse a few times until a thick paste forms.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the label directions. Drain and return to the pot. Add the onion and ginger mixture and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Place the noodles in bowls. Drizzle with oyster sauce. Drain the marinated vegetables and add them to the noodles. Top with the remaining onions.
