Questions about Vegetable lo mein
How do you make vegetable lo mein at home?
Boil the noodles until just tender, then drain them well. Stir-fry sliced vegetables over high heat until crisp-tender, add the noodles and a sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil and a little sugar, and toss for a minute or two.
Which noodles are best for vegetable lo mein?
Use Chinese egg noodles or fresh lo mein noodles if you can find them; dried wheat noodles work too. Cook them just shy of tender, rinse briefly with cold water and drain thoroughly so they do not turn soft in the wok.
Can you make vegetable lo mein without a wok?
Yes. Use the largest frying pan you have and cook in batches: a crowded pan steams the vegetables instead of browning them. Keep the pan very hot and add the noodles only after the vegetables are nearly done.
What vegetables go well in vegetable lo mein?
Thinly sliced cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, spring onions and peppers cook quickly and hold their texture. Add crunchy vegetables first and leafy greens, such as pak choi, near the end.
How should you store leftover vegetable lo mein?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a sealed container and eat within three days. Reheat until steaming hot, adding a splash of water to loosen the noodles; avoid reheating it more than once.
Is vegetable lo mein the same as vegetable chow mein?
