Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook 8 oz dried lo mein noodles (vegan, egg-free) according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic cloves and 2 tsp minced fresh ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add 1 cup julienned carrots and 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add 2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage and 1 cup trimmed snap peas and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Pour the sauce over everything and toss vigorously with tongs for 2 minutes until the noodles are coated and heated through.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat, toss with 4 sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
