Veggie Lo Mein
Description
Veggie Lo Mein is made by preparing whole-wheat spaghetti to slightly undercooked, which helps the noodles finish cooking in the pan without becoming mushy. Meanwhile, a sauce is whisked together using tamari, toasted sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and sriracha to balance salty, sweet, and spicy notes.
In a hot skillet or wok, mushrooms, bell pepper, carrots, and garlic are sautéed until tender, followed by the addition of broccoli and snow peas. The vegetables are seasoned lightly with salt and then combined with the drained noodles and sauce, tossing to fully coat the pasta and vegetables evenly.
The dish can be garnished with sliced green onions for freshness and is suitable served immediately. The mix of textures from crisp vegetables and tender noodles, along with the lively sauce, offers a satisfying vegetarian meal or side dish.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to five days and can be reheated by microwave or stove for convenience.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
- 1/3 cup tamari reduced-sodium soy sauce, or coconut aminos, reduced-sodium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated fresh
- 1 .5-ounce package shiitake mushrooms (stemmed and thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or pure maple syrup to make it vegan)
- 1 red bell pepper (seeded and thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 cup carrot grated
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups broccoli chopped florets
- 1 cup snow peas
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste, fine sea salt
- green onion for garnish, sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente, 8 to 12 minutes, then drain. You want the noodles to be a little under cooked.
- While the spaghetti cooks, whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, carrots, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broccoli and snow peas and toss to combine. Season the vegetables with the salt and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the noodles and sauce to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetable mixture. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
Notes
- Serve the lo mein immediately after cooking, garnished with green onions for freshness.
- Meal prep by dividing into containers with garnish; reheat in microwave or on stovetop until warmed through.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain quality and safety.
