Directions

Bell peppers / Carrots - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating first.) Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

Make sauce - Grate ginger. Chop green onions. Combine ginger, soy sauce, first portion of water, mirin, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions to sauce. When sauce is simmering, combine second portion of water and cornstarch. Pour into sauce and continue simmering until sauce thickens slightly, ~1 minute. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

Cook noodles - Boil lo mein noodles according to package directions. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Lemons - Slice into wedges.

Fish - Rinse and pat dry. Season with some salt and pepper.

Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.

Brush a baking dish with some oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place fish in a single layer in dish. Pour sauce (portion for fish) over top. Bake until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 14 minutes.

Heat a wok over medium heat. Add toasted sesame oil and then bell peppers and carrots to heated oil. Add a pinch of salt and saute until vegetables are tender but still have some crunch. Add lo mein and sauce (portion for lo mein). Saute for 1 minute more.

Serve fish with lo mein on the side. Squeeze lemon juice from wedges over both. Enjoy!
