1
Mix together the hoisin, tamari, hot sauce, and about 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl and reserve. Boil water for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente.
2
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil ripples, add eggs and scramble them to light golden brown. Remove to a plate and reserve.
3
Season the meat strips with salt, pepper, and coriander. In the same skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over high heat, then stir-fry the meat for 4 minutes. Push the meat to the sides and add the garlic, ginger, scallions, shiitakes, bell peppers, water chestnuts, and bean sprouts or cabbage and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the drained pasta and the eggs to the skillet. Pour the reserved sauce over the lo mein. Turn off the heat. Toss for 30 seconds and let the pasta absorb all of the liquid. Taste it to adjust the seasonings.
