Lo Mein Recipe with Vegetables: Sumptuous and bold homemade lo mein noodles loaded with crispy vegetables and mixed with a savory sauce.

Homemade Lo Mein Recipe with Vegetables

all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

large eggs

pasta dough (recipe included)

coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

red bell pepper

yellow summer squash (small)

green onions

mushrooms

garlic (minced)

Chinese black vinegar rice

fish sauce

water

cornstarch

Pour the flour on a clean work surface. Make a deep well in the middle of the flour and crack the eggs in the center of the well. Using a spoon, gently break the yolks and stir the eggs to collect the flour around the edges. Stir in more and more flour until the entire pile of flour clumps. Then gather the clumps and knead into a ball. Knead aggressively for 5 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and firm. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest while you prepare the veggies.

For the Pasta Dough:

Trim and slice all vegetables into thin bite-size pieces. Heat a large pot of salted water to boil the pasta and get a wok (or large skillet) out for the lo mein. Also set out a pan to hold the sauteed veggies.

Flatten the dough ball a little and cut it into 2-inch strips. Place the pasta roller attachment on the KitchenAid mixer and run each piece of dough through the roller to flatten. Lay each piece out on a floured surface. Then switch the attachment to the spaghetti cutter, and run each sheet of dough through the cutter to form thin noodles. Flour the noodles as they come through the cutter and lay them out on a floured surface. *If you don&#x27;t have these attachments you can use a countertop pasta maker, or even roll the dough out flat and cut with a pizza roller.

After the noodles are ready, heat the wok over high heat to stir fry the veggies. Place 1-2 teaspoons of oil in the wok and wait until it smokes. Then place one vegetable at a time in the wok and stir fry for 1-2 minutes moving constantly. Scoop the veggies out and place in the holding pan, then repeat with the next vegetable. You want the veggies to be bright, crisp and barely cooked, not soft and flimsy. This should take 5-8 minutes total.

Once all the veggies are cooked and moved to the pan, turn the heat to medium and place the sesame oil in the skillet, followed by the garlic and ginger. Saute for one minute, then add the soy sauce, black vinegar, fish sauce, water, and cornstarch. Whisk immediately to incorporate the corn starch then allow the sauce to thicken a little.

Start the sauce, then immediately drop the homemade noodles in the boiling pot of water. They should take only 2-3 minutes to cook. Drain well.

Once the sauce thickens, pour the drained pasta and all the veggies back into the wok. Toss and simmer another minute or two to thoroughly coat and season the pasta. Serve warm.

This is a great recipe my son and husband who are both really p[icky like it very much. Thanks for sharing it!

I have to say ... I've made this twice within the last 2weeks and my family loves it. I used frozen stir fried veggies and brown sugar (don't have honey) and man they gobbled it up. Going to have to make a double batch next time. Thank you for this great recipe.

I too want Chinese food from time to time! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I would definitely try it myself.

I am eating this as I write.  I really like it and would definitely make it again.  I did not have pea pods so I used asparagus and a handful of spinach.  I also used ramen noodles as I had them.  Definitely use whatever veggies you have on hand.  Great, fast recipe!

I made this for lunch today, and my family loved it!  I like how versatile it is- you can use whatever veggies and cooked meat you have on hand.  I used thin spaghetti noodles and sprinkled the servings with chopped cashew nuts.  Yum!  Many thanks!

Oh!Robyn thanks For nice dish &amp; hope it will be delicious. My child fond of noodles.I'll make this recipe soon for my baby.

I am going to try this, and I will add pieces of leftover chicken to add a little more protein.   I wonder how red pepper flakes would taste....
