Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
8.5 oz noodles, e.g. ramen noodles or egg noodles 240g
1 tablespoon oil, e.g. canola or sesame
2 tablespoon ginger, minced or finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 red chilli, for heat leave in the seeds, finely chopped
2 cups mushrooms, e.g. champignon chopped into quarters. 150-200g
2 cups cabbage, cut into strips. 200g
3/4 cup broccoli, cut into small florets. 100g
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped, optional
3 green onions, separate white and green parts
1 tablespoon mirin, or white wine, sherry
sesame seeds, for garnish, optional

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.

VEGETABLE LO MEIN



Vegetable Lo Mein image

An easy, healthy vegetable lo mein with authentic flavor and a scrumptious soy ginger sauce. Use any of your favorite veggies!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces long noodles (such as whole grain spaghetti, whole grain fettuccine, soba noodles, or udon noodles)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus additional for tossing with the noodles)
3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (divided)
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (divided, plus additional to taste)
4 green onions (thinly sliced, divided)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (plus additional to taste)
8 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms
2 cups sugar snap peas
2 bell peppers (cored and thinly sliced (red, yellow, orange, or any mix you like))

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



Easy Veggie Lo Mein image

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.)

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, dried (optional or increase the amount for a spicier kick)

1/2 lb spaghetti, whole wheat (cooked per package instructions)

Steps:

  • 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.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the lo mein:
10 ounces lo mein noodles, fresh or dry
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 carrot, grated
1 small head napa cabbage, chopped
To garnish:
Fresh scallion, chopped
Sesame seeds
Wasabi edamame (Dad Add)

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.
