Ingredients :

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 of fresh or dried lo mein noodles

• 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 :

     1. Combine the sauce ingredients :

Combine the soy sauce, hot water, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

     2. Cook the lo mein noodles :

A big saucepan should be filled with water and heated to medium. When the water is at a boil, add the salt. Check the package instructions for the noodles you are using before adding the noodles and cooking them until they are soft, which normally takes 4 minutes.

To prevent sticking, drain the noodles, put them in a bowl, and sprinkle with sesame oil.

     3. Cook the vegetables :

Large skillet or a wok should be heated to medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the mushrooms start to lose their water and turn a light brown color. The red pepper, carrot, and cabbage are then added. The vegetables should continue to simmer for another 3 minutes or so while being stirred frequently.

     4. Add the noodles and sauce :

Add the noodles and toss them with the vegetables and sauce. The vegetables and noodles should be covered in sauce. Add a tablespoon at a time more water if the noodles look dry.

Taste it and tweak the flavor to your preference. For instance, it might require one more dash of soy sauce.

     5. Serve :

If you like it hot, top the Veggie Lo Mein with onions, sesame seeds, and wasabi edamame for a lovely spicy crunch.

Leftovers! Remaining food can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. In the microwave, they will reheat beautifully.
