Stir Fry Vegetable Lo Mein.
Stir Fry Vegetable Lo Mein.
After my husband and I decided to change our way of eating and refrain from all the seafood. We found that vegetable stir fry was quick simple and delicious. There is an endless combination of vegetables that you can use. My husband and I experimented with squash, zucchini, peppers and the list goes on.
This time I wanted to stick with the traditional Asian variety of stir fry and make a lo mein. I had a pack of udon noodles I purchased from Whole Foods. I bought this when I was planning to try to make a pho so they were vegan. I believe traditional lo mein noodles are made with eggs. I would suggest that if you are going to use the udon noodles to stir fry them on medium to high heat for a short time because they can become overcooked rather quickly.
Since we started doing stir fry we never used traditional soy sauce or any other sauces that can be found in the Asian aisle at the grocery store. We keep it simple adding our own mix of spices and Mr. Braggs' amino acids. It has that delicious soy sauce taste without any of the bad stuff.
For this stir fry I decided to keep it simple when it came to the vegetables.
1. Cabbage (I used purple)
2. Okra (Just because I love it)
3. Bella mushrooms
4. Red onion
5. Chopped garlic
6. Broccoli
7. Green onions

For this stir fry I added to sugar to my mix of spices. I found that is what many other YouTubers were doing in their stir fry vegetable lo mein videos. Sugar mixed with the amino acids (soy sauce alternative) really brought out the flavor, therefore I would definitely recommend this. Also I noticed that they added the green onions last and did not stir fry it for that long after. This made the flavor and the color of the green onions really shine in this dish.
Side Note: I don't use oil to saute or even stir fry I love Earth Balance's buttery spread and that is what I used as my "oil" for this stir fry.
This recipe is so simple and easy. Its great for when you want something light with great flavor. I will definitely be experimenting more with stir fry and noodles.
