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.

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.

EASY VEGGIE LO MEIN
This easy homemade version of a classic Chinese takeout dish tastes much better than the takeout version, and it's healthier too. You may choose to adjust the spice level by using more or less crushed red pepper flakes or none at all. Also, other vegetables may be substituted per your preference. I hope others enjoy this recipe as much as my family does! (Please note this recipe is not authentic Chinese and never claimed to be.)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (optional) and honey. Set aside.
- Fill a 5-quart pot 2/3 full of water, salt if desired and bring to a rolling boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet, and bring to medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening and fragrant, add snow peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat and cover.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain as much water as possible from the noodles. Add the noodles to the veggies in the skillet, pour sauce over all and combine thoroughly. Cover and cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes in order to allow the noodles and veggies to absorb as much flavor from the sauce as possible.
- Serve and enjoy!

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your lo mein the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good option.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Lo mein noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and bland.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes lo mein special. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
- Add protein: Lo mein is a great dish to add protein to. Some popular options include chicken, shrimp, beef, and tofu.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, scallions, and basil, can add a pop of color and flavor to your lo mein.
