Vegetarian Lo Mein

This was a great meatless meal to continue our asian food kick in this household!  I made this probably a month ago and need to make it again!  It was so simple and very tasty.

via Can You Stay for Dinner

 

For the Sauce:

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon Sriracha hot chili sauce

2 teaspoons cornstarch

 

Remaining Ingredients:

2 teaspoons canola oil

2 cups bean sprouts

1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 cup shredded Napa cabbage

1/4 cup grated carrot

6 oz Chinese egg noodles or whole wheat spaghetti

 

 

Cook the egg noodles or spaghetti according to package instructions, drain and set aside.

 

Stir all sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened and glossy, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

 

Meanwhile, set a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the two teaspoons of canola oil and swirl to coat. Add the bean sprouts, mushrooms, cabbage, and carrot.

 

Saute for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the cooked egg noodles and the sauce, tossing to combine. Serve immediately.
