Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 lb lo mein noodles
  • 1 cup napa cabbage sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper julienned
  • ¾ cup snow peas ends trimmed
  • ½ cup carrot julienned
  • 4 button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Lo Mein Sauce:

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
  • Soak your lo mein noodles in hot boiling water for 15-20 seconds just until loosened. Strain immediately.
  • In a large skillet or large wok, on medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add carrots, red bell pepper, snow peas, mushrooms and napa cabbage. Add ¼ cup water around the pan to help cook the veggies until softened, about 1-2 minutes. It's okay if there's still some water in the base of the pan.
  • Add in cooked noodles and prepared sauce. Toss everything together until noodles are coated in sauce and sauce has slightly thickened. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
