Vegetarian Chow Mein Ingredients

I know that not everyone loves every vegetable out there, and sometimes a specific veggie is hard to find or too expensive. So I wanted to include this list of optional veggies. You can add them in to bulk up your veggie chow main, or use them to swap out an ingredient you don’t want to use.

More Veggies to Add or Swap:

• Sliced celery
• Shredded carrots
• Chopped bok choy
• Water chestnuts
• Mini corn
• Chopped cabbage
• Green beans

Ingredients for Vegan Chow Mein:

• ¼ cup vegan mushroom oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or Tamiri)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 10- ounces Yakisoba noodles, Udon Noodles, or whole wheat spaghetti
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• Olive oil spray
• 1 yellow onion 
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 cup snow peas or snap peas
• 2 green onions 

How to Make Vegan Chow Mein

I like to make the sauce, slice and cook the veggies while the pot of noodles is cooking. This means I can get dinner on the table in just 20 minute.

You can also make the noodles ahead of time and refrigerate them, but I do recommend tossing them in a little bit of olive oil so they don’t stick together if you do that.

How to Make Vegan Chow Mein:

1. Cook the noodles according to the direction on package. In the meantime, make the sauce and cook the veggies.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together mushroom oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and Sriracha and set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray with olive oil and add in the onion, bell peppers, and snow peas. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the veggies start to soften.
4. Add cooked noodles and cook for 3 more minutes.
5. Stir in the prepared sauce, and remove from heat.
6. Top with green onions and serve hot.

This veggie chow mein is easy to make in just 20 minutes, and is packed with flavor.

I like to get vegan mushroom oyster sauce for this recipe. But you could also make your own if you prefer.

Special Tip: You can get creative with the veggies, add in (or swap for a veggie you don't like) celery, wok chop, water chestnuts. And even add in some tofu if you like.
