Vegetable Lo Mein

"Adapted from a recipe by ANGCHICK at allrecipes.com. An excellent side dish for any Asian meal, try adding ¾ lb cooked meat (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp), cut in julienne, for a main dish. * The best noodles to use are found in Asian markets, labelled "lo mein." They're a slightly dry, curly, fresh egg noodle. Next best is regular dried linguini. Dried egg noodles will turn mushy, as will vacuum-packed "fresh Chinese-style" egg noodles. * Hoisin sauce, also called Peking sauce, is a thick, reddish-brown sauce that is sweet and spicy, and widely used in Chinese cooking. It's a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers and various spices. It can be found in Asian markets and many large supermarkets. Look in the Asian or ethnic section. If this item is not in stock at your local store, ask your grocer to special order it for you. Most grocers will be happy to do this for their customers."

  1. I loved it as is, DH really liked, but would have loved it with some kind of meat. Followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for posting, I'll be making this again.
     
  2. Enjoyed this ... didn't have exactly the right veggies but used what I had, I think this is a versatile and forgiving recipe. I enjoyed this as a vegetarian main meal, made for I Recommend tag game
     
  3. WOW - unfortunately I didn't have bean sprouts to add but everything else went in and I used fresh Hokkien Noodles which I soaked in boiling water for a few minutes until they separated as in the past I have found if you boil them they turn to mush. The flavour from the sauce was fantastic just the right amount of sweet and spice, thank you Dr. Gaellon for a keeper, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
