Vegetable Lo Mein
Hey everyone! I recently showed how to make this not too long ago on my social media and it has been a hit with those who have tried it! Now, I’ll be honest and say that I am not a big fan of Chinese takeout. Often I find it greasy and heavy. So, I took it upon myself to make some myself. I saw some lo mein in my local grocery store that I couldn’t pass up. That is exactly what inspired me to make this Vegetable Lo Mein dish.
My husband and I have been incorporating more vegetarian-friendly meals into our diet. Therefore, this vegetable lo mein was a hit for us. It is packed with vegetables, loads of flavor from the simple sauce mixture, and just umami of textures. I can see why it has been such a hit with my audience.
Moreover, it is even fantastic with seared chicken, beef, or shrimp as I have tried all 3 versions! Top it off with some crushed peanuts and fresh lime juice for the perfect bite of food. What is great about this meal is that it is also made in under 30 minutes making it ideal for a weeknight meal. The entire family will enjoy this even kids since it involves noodles! It is a great way to get their veggies in for the day.
