Vegetable Lo Mein Noodles

Vegetable Lo Mein Noodles

A quick and flavorful vegetable lo mein with tender noodles, crisp vegetables, and a savory sauce that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces Lo Mein Egg Noodles (or linguini noodles)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (finely grated)
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 3 Green Onions (sliced; save green tops for garnish)
  • 2 cups Mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1/2 large Bell Pepper (diced, about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups Snap Peas (coarsely chopped)
  • 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles

    • Timing: Begin by boiling a pot of water.
    • Place your 12 ounces of Lo Mein noodles in the pot and cook according to package directions—generally about 4-5 minutes for egg noodles.
    • Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

    2. Make the Lo Mein Sauce

    • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger. Set this aside; it’ll be used later to flavor our noodles!

    3. Sauté the Vegetables

    • Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced white parts of three green onions and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Toss in the chopped mushrooms, diced bell pepper, and coarsely chopped snap peas. Timing: Sauté these for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.

    4. Add Cabbage

    • Stir in 2 cups of shredded Cabbage and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted but still slightly crunchy.

    5. Combine Noodles and Sauce

    • Add your reserved cooked lo mein noodles to the pan and pour the Lo Mein sauce over the top. Gently toss everything together and heat until warmed through—about 2-3 minutes more.

    6. Serve it Up!

    • Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with the reserved green tops of the green onions for a pop of color.

Notes

  • For protein: add tofu, chicken, or shrimp in step 3
  • Gluten-free option: use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles
  • Vegetables can be substituted with mushrooms, snow peas, or broccoli
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days
