    One pot meals that come together in a jiffy work out really well on a day you forget all about dinner and realize that you have 15 minutes to get things to the table. Technically, this is a 2 pot meal with the noodles boiling in one, and may take 20 to 25 mins. But hey, it is super easy, delicious and cleans out the fridge!

    Put your noodles in a large pot to boil and cook. Chop up the veggies. Cook the veggies to preference, add the sauce mixture and the noodles. Toss like a pro, or not and serve. Of course I add a green chile, black pepper and cayenne to amp up the heat. Black pepper adds a great flavor profile too. Adjust the heat to preference. This Veggie Lo mein makes a great light dinner or side. Add some crisped or baked tofu if you like. I use buckwheat wheat soba noodles which are quite filling. Use gluten-free noodles of choice to make this gf.

    How to Make Easy Lo Mein

    1. Use veggies that you have on hand
    2. Some noodles can have eggs, so heck ingredients before using. Many noodles are accidentally vegan and can be used easily in the recipe. 
    3. Add more of the flavorings if adding more veggies.
    4. Add some crisped or baked tofu or edamame to make into a hearty meal.

    Reading/Watching for the week:

    The incredibly sad and tortured life on animals in the circus Industry. Chinese circus training involves hanging bear cubs by the rope on their necks to train them to walk upright, constant deprivation, torture and intimidation. Please do not support any kind of circuses. I can never fathom how it can be fun to watch animals who look scared and scarred, do unnatural acts.

      Made this for dinner last night, it was so tasty and easy! I used what veggies I had on hand, bok choy, carrots, onion, king oyster mushroom, edamame and left over TVP. Thank you for a quick meal and easy to follow directions !

      Another fabulous recipe! This was so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I probably doubled the vegetable amount, but it still had plenty of sauce so it was great. Thanks so much.

      Husband said “this might be the best meal you’ve made for me, I love this – it’s so flavorful!!” I used rice noodles and frozen vegetables stir fry. This was our Day 1 making vegan dishes – so I’m glad it was a hit!

      Mmmmmm…. this was really good, made it last night. So fast. So satisfying. I added a 1/4 tsp of sriracha into the sauce mix, as you suggested, no leftovers :-((
      Thank you!

      Hi, I just made this today for my Bento and for my wife’s dinner. It was really easy to make and tastes delicious. I added some baked Tofu and some fresh coriander.
      Bought your book and really love it. Also compliments on your blog.

      Hi Richa!

      I discovered you through Purple Carrot (Mango Curry Tofu dish). I actually used your recipe instead of the Purple Carrot version (we are rice-d out these days!). I bought your cookbook this week and cannot wait to dive in!

      Question for you: do you post any of the nutritional information for your recipes?

      Many thanks,
      Wendy

        Hi Wendy,
        yay! so glad you found me and bought the book! I don’t post nutritional info on the blog. I havent found any widget that provides accurate enough information. So i will have to manually use the online tools and the usda database to calculate it myself. I don’t have the bandwidth to do that right now. I might eventually be able to hire someone to do it. I am also talking to my publisher to have the info in mt second book since they might have experienced staff already for that.

        Thanks
        Richa

      Incredibly sad reading/viewing re circus animals. Great to expose it though and hopefully one day things will change as more people become aware. Tasty looking recipe too, thanks.. Will definitely be giving it a go one Friday night soon when I can’t be bothered doing anything too complicated 🙂
