    Recipe Tips

    Switch up the veggies. This vegan lo mein can be like a ‘clean out the fridge’ kind of meal and you can just throw in whatever veggies you have on hand! The more the merrier.

    Add tofu if you like. If you’d like to add tofu to this dish it would be a great addition. You can either just throw in something like our crispy baked tofu or our crispy fried tofu. Or serve some grilled tofu on the side. Or you could just heat up the oil in the wok and when hot, add cubed tofu (extra firm) and fry until browned and crispy. Then remove the tofu from the wok and continue with the recipe (adding garlic and ginger etc). Then throw the tofu in at the end and toss it up with your noodles and veggies.

    Storing and Freezing

    Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.

    They are also freezer friendly for up to 3 months if you’d like to freeze some. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

      I made this as written except I used baby Bella mushrooms instead. I also used a package of Pre cooked udon noodles found in international food isle at the store to save time and it came out great! So tasty and flavorful but easy. The most time consuming thing is all the veggie chopping but otherwise it was really fast. Carnivore husband loves it too
