Lo mein

Lo Mein Cold

modified by Corina from https://thefirstmess.com/2020/03/11/cold-ginger-noodle-salad-vegan-recipe/

Dressing
1/4 C tamari
1/4 C toasted sesame oil
1/8 C rice vinegar
2-3 T finely chopped ginger
1 T agave

Put all ingredients into an airtight tupperware with a sealable lid. Shake. Done.

Noodle Salad
1 package Japanese ramen noodles or mie noodles (make sure they don't have eggs in them)
1 C frozen peas
1 carrot
1 T chopped jalapeƱos
1 medium orange (or grapefruit) cut into bite-sized pieces
1 container chopped tofu
black pepper to taste

Optional: torn mint leaves, 1 T white toasted sesame seeds

Cook the noodles, strain, put dressing into the warm pan, then the frozen peas, then the hot noodles. Add the rest and stir. 


Another Lo Mein recipe (but I think above is better)

Follow the instructions at the link above with the following modifications:

  • Can use any kind of tofu, even those that are already cooked, in which case heat up the tofu in oil with garlic and onion (a tiny bit). Then throw in the other veggies until they are done, then add the noodles, and pour the sauce on top.
  • Sauce: we like lots of Sambal (2T) and agave syrup instead of maple syrup (cheaper)
  • No scallions or bean sprouts, can substitute mushrooms for bell pepper
