An easy 20-minute recipe for Veg Lo Mein. This recipe is delicious, better than takeout, and uses simple ingredients. It's suitable for beginner cooks and is vegan-friendly.
When my daughter was five/six years old, she loved this restaurant's lo mein. We had to go there at least once a week to get those. Since they did not have a kid's portion for the lo mein, I used to share with her. It was the most delicious lo mein I have ever had. The noodles were slurpy, saucy, and delicious, with crunchy vegetables. Unfortunately, we moved from the city, and our rendezvous with lo mein ended.
She didn't like any restaurants in the city, so I started making it at home to make her feel better. It took me some time to reach the level of that restaurant, but now I can say that she prefers mine over any restaurant and takeout, and that's the best compliment.
I love this homemade lo mein since it is much healthier than takeout. This dish is my savior on busy weekdays and nights. My favorite thing is that it's my clean-the-fridge kind of meal. Sometimes I have a carrot, a few snap peas, and a half pepper lying in the fridge.
Before going shopping, I prefer to make this meal, which utilizes lots of vegetables. Sometimes I make Veg Fried Rice, and sometimes Veg Thai Panang Curry. This Veg Lo Mein is among my favorites. Loaded with colorful, crunchy vegetables, this is so good and comforting.
What Types of Noodles Can Be Used in the Making of Lo Mein?
You can buy dry or fresh lo mein noodles from the store. I use any of these according to my mood. Many times, I use spaghetti noodles to make this lo mein as well. Folks, this lockdown and pandemic taught me everything about using our resources. And spaghetti noodles work perfectly in this recipe. To make this healthy, use whole wheat spaghetti or chickpea flour spaghetti.
What Vegetables Can Be Used in Making Veg Lo mein?
Any vegetable, according to your choice. I prefer bell peppers, broccoli, carrots- whatever I can find in my fridge. No need to buy anything special for this recipe. Just throw everything you have in the wok after chopping, and throw in some noodles and sauce and your lo mein is ready to enjoy.
