Veggie Lo Mein

I put this together from what I had in the house, which wasn't much.  But it actually turned out pretty well.  It was pretty quick and easy- just what I was looking for.

Veggie Lo Mein
Ingredients:


1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 Tbsp brown sugar (or regular, if you don’t have any)
2 Tbsp rice vinegar (I used seasoned)
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed +1 more glove for stir frying
1/2 tsp minced ginger (I used paste)
1/4 tsp sesame oil
Chili Sauce to taste (I used Sriracha)
1 medium sized onion, cut lengthwise
1 red pepper, cut thin
1 green pepper, cut thin
8 button mushroom, cut thin
1 handful of bean sprouts
1/2 package of vermicelli
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
1/2 can of baby corn, cut in half
1/2 cup of shelled edamame
1 can of water chestnuts, drained
Some seitan- optional


Place all wet ingredients in a bowl and combine well.  Set aside. Bring some water to a boil and cook your pasta until it is al dente.


Coat the bottom of your wok (our frying pan) with some sesame oil and add the onions and garlic.  Cook on medium heat until the onions become translucent.  Next add the mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes before adding the rest of your veggies.  Add in the seitan and cook for about 5 more minutes.


Drain your pasta.  Add the pasta, sauce and sesame seeds to the wok with the veggies and cook for about another 3 minutes.  Plate it and you are done.  So simple and so yummy! I served mine with a couple of veggie dumplings which I just steamed.
