Steps:
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain out the water. Rinse the noodles with cold water, drain them well, and then set them aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Then set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ginger for 30 seconds. Then add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry 2 minutes more. Finally, add the broccoli, pea pods, and bok choy. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2 more minutes, then transfer them to a plate.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add chicken (or other meat) and stir-fry it until it's no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked noodles, vegetables, and sauce. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Using two spatulas or wooden spoons, lightly toss the mixture until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Mix together sauce ingredients and reserve.
- Bring pasta water to a boil, salt water and cook spaghetti to al dente.
- While pasta cooks, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. When oil ripples, add beaten eggs and scramble them to light golden brown, remove and reserve.
- Season the meat with salt, pepper and coriander. Heat the remaining vegetable oil to a ripple, then add meat and stir-fry 4 minutes, push meat to the side and add ginger, garlic and veggies. Stir-fry veggies 2 minutes, then drain and add pasta and eggs back to skillet. Pour sauce over the spaghetti and toss to combine. Turn off pan. Toss 30 seconds and let the liquids absorb.
LO MEIN NOODLES
I love this dish, it's deceptively simple. If you have all the ingredients you can have a plate of delicious noodles on the table within 15 to 20 minutes with prep included. There really isn't such thing as a "Lo Mein" noodle so don't try to find it on the shelf. You want to buy an egg noodle or pasta that's relatively thin and has some tooth. Some common names will be Lo Mein, Chow Mein, egg noodles, or pancit noodles. Most markets have Japanese Yaki Soba noodles in the cold case and those would work perfectly. Cooking spaghetti or fettuccine al dente, cold water rinsing, then allowing to dry in a colander will also make a great lo Mein. The traditional difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein is Lo Mein is a soft noodle with some gravy and chow Mein is a crispy fried noodle tossed with or smothered in sauce. This has become very convoluted and over the 200 years Chinese food has existed in America and with regional evolutions. Another tip: Although sesame oil is a fat and you would assume it should be used to start the stir-fry, I want you to treat it like a sauce. Sesame oil has incredible aroma and flavor but burns at a low temp. Add it to a sauce instead and use a high temp oil like canola or peanut for cooking.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Stir together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and sesame oil. Set aside.
