*if using fresh lo mein noodles, cook them al dente or under. You will be cooking them more once they are added to the wok and you don&#39;t want to over cook them.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in your wok, or large non-stick skillet, over medium high heat. After a minute or two, add the onions and sauté for a few minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for another minute. Add the carrots and the cabbage and add in the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix, toss and let cook for a few minutes. Add in the mushrooms and continue cooking for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour in the shaoxing wine and toss again. Add in the cooked noodles and pour in 2 tablespoons of the pasta water; you can use more later if needed but start with just a little.

Quick &amp; Easy Vegetable Lo Mein

noodles of choice (I used brown rice spaghetti)

olive oil

garlic

inch thumb fresh ginger (grated)

green onions

baby bella mushrooms

snow peas

red bell pepper (sliced thin)

carrot (julienned)

baby spinach

tablespon toasted sesame oil

brown sugar

sriracha

boil water

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. 

saute garlic

In a medium saute pan, add the finely minced garlic, scallions and freshly grated ginger. Saute with the olive oil for 2-3 minutes. 

add mushrooms

Add in the sliced mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to wilt slightly. 

add veggies

Add in the snow peas, carrot and sliced bell pepper. If you notice anything sticking, add in a splash more oil. 

let steam

Cover the pan and let the vegetables steam for 5 minutes to soften. 

add sauce

Remove the lid and add in the soy sauce/tamari, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar and sriracha. Stir well to combine. 

combine veggies and noodles

Combine the veggies with the noodles and combine together to coat the noodles with the sauce. Add in the spinach and chopped green onions and stir well.

Simmer

Let simmer for 5 minutes to absorb all of the flavor and let the spinach wilt. If you can let it sit for longer (about 15 minutes) even better because the noodles will soak up more flavor.

taste

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. I usually add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce because I love it so much, but you can add red pepper flakes, extra sriracha for spice etc. 

serve

YUM! I added broccoli and thinly sliced chicken for my meat eaters. I think next time I'll double the sauce but everyone loves it! It's on the meal rotation, thanks!!!

Very easy and super delicious. We subbed in a couple things we didn’t have on hand so we used white onion instead of shallots and we added broccoli and chili oil. Thank you!
