Bahmi goreng

You'll be hard-pressed to refuse seconds of this irresistible stir-fry. Tender Chinese egg noodles, crisp green snow peas, and Chinese long beans mingle with plenty of rich, garlicky sauce. Cubes of tofu and shredded omelet add even more texture.

Cooks' notes:

·Shallots can be fried 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
·Fresh lo mein noodles (not cooked) can be substituted for stir-fry noodles. Boil until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes (or follow package directions), then proceed with recipe.
