Vegetarian Lo Mein Recipes

VEGETABLE LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Heat oil in a large wok or saute pan. Stir fry mushrooms, carrots, peppers, onion and garlic until tender. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions; cook one minute. Mix cornstarch and chicken broth in a small bowl and add to stir fry. Stir in hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, cayenne pepper and curry powder. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
• Add cooked spaghetti, and toss. Serve immediately.

VEGETABLE LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
• Heat a wide, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. In a medium bowl scramble the eggs.
• Once the skillet is hot, add 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Swirl to coat then, pour in the eggs all at once. Lift and tilt the skillet so that the eggs form a thin layer on the bottom. Cook in a single layer without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, until just set.
• With a rubber spatula to assist, slide the eggs onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces or strips.
• Return the pan to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium (be careful as it may splatter if the pan is too hot). Working quickly, add 2/3 of the green onions (reserve the rest for serving), the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly, just until the very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook 1 minute, stirring often.
• Add the snap peas and bell peppers. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the reserved cooked noodles and eggs. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the top. Toss the lo mein gently to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved green onions.

Steps:

• Serve: Serve the Veggie Lo Mein topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and wasabi edamame (if you like it hot) for some nice spicy crunch. Leftovers! You can store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. They will reheat beautifully in the microwave.

VEGETABLE LO MEIN

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot for the noodles. If using the lo mein egg noodles, you can skip this step, as those noodles do not require any pre-cooking. But if using fresh white noodles, you will have to boil them. Just cook until al dente, drain, and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauces, sesame oil, dissolved sugar, and five spice powder, if using.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat and add the garlic, mushrooms, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds and add the peppers and carrots. Make sure your wok is searing hot, and then add the Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry for another minute.
• Next, add the snow peas and leafy greens to the wok and cook until the greens are just wilted. Then add your noodles. Make sure that before you add them, they're somewhat loose and not all clumped together (you can rinse them in warm water to loosen them up before adding them to the wok).
• Pour your sauce mixture over the noodles and stir-fry until the color of the noodles are uniform. A folding or scoop-and-lift motion works well for that. Once everything is well-combined, dish out the noodles and serve.

EASY 20 MINUTE VEGETARIAN LO MEIN

Steps:

• Mix all the sauce ingredients together.
• Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain them and coat in a little sesame oil or other oil for them to unstick from each other. Set aside.
• Cut them as you like or as I described in the ingredients list.
• In a large skillet, on medium high heat, pour a little neutral oil in. Add in garlic and ginger and sauté until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add all the other vegetables - except for the green parts of the green onion - and cook until tender. Around 6 minutes, depending a little on the size you chose. Sprinkle with pepper. You may also wait with the cabbage until the last minute of sautéing to have more crunch.
• Add mirin or white wine to the pan to deglaze it (to get the flavorful brown bits from the pan into the sauce). Add in the cooked noodles and the sauce and give it a mix, to make sure the noodles are warm before serving.
• Serve warm and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
