This vegetable lo mein is fresh noodles tossed with an assortment of colorful vegetables in a savory sauce. A remake of the take out classic that takes like it came straight from a restaurant!

  • 1 cup green cabbage shredded
  • 3/4 cup Shiitake mushrooms stems removed, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 10 ounces fresh noodles cooked according to package instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. 
  2. Add the onions, carrots, celery, cabbage, mushrooms and bell peppers to the pan and cook for 4 minutes or until just softened. 
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the noodles to the pan, then toss to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and corn starch.
  6. Pour the sauce into the pan and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute or until sauce is just thickened. Sprinkle with green onions, then serve.

Notes

  • Vegetable lo mein will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep in mind that the noodles will continue to absorb the sauce as they sit in the fridge.
  • I find that fresh noodles work best, such as Asian style egg noodles. Many grocery stores sell Asian noodles in the refrigerated area of the produce section, or you can purchase them at an Asian market. The noodles I buy are labeled as Shanghai noodles. If you can't find fresh noodles, dry noodles will also work well. Check your grocery store's international foods aisle for dry noodle options.
