1 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp cornstarch

For the bowls

8 oz dried lo mein noodles or thin wheat noodles
2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil), divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
8 oz snow peas, strings removed
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
