Vegetable Chow Mein (Vegan) (Authentic flavours)

This is Hands Down, The BEST Vegetable Chow Mein Recipe with a crazy good simple asian sauce. Tastier than Panda Express take out, better for you and fast and easy!

When I think Chinese Chow Mein I think noodles and cabbage. Honestly I sometimes make it with just those two ingredients, well and mushrooms too- if they're kicking around in the fridge, I LOVE me some mushrooms!

OK LETS TALK VEGAN CHOW MEIN NOODLES!

My favourite noodles for this Vegetable Chow Mein are Spaghettini or spaghetti, followed by dried Chow Mein noodles (no egg), and I also like medium rice stick noodles.

For Spaghetti, spaghettini or chow mein noodles: Once cooked, drain, rinse with cold water and toss with oil.

Rice noodles: Once cooked rinse with cold water and set aside in strainer until needed.

HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE CHOW MEIN?

This recipe is pretty straightforward! Make the Stir fry sauce and set aside.

Prep the veg, fry it up, add the sauce. Add your noodles, cook for a couple of minutes. Garnish with some green onions and sesame seeds if you wish. Then Slurp em up.

You'll be amazed at how easy and delicious this Vegetarian Chow Mein Recipe is. I always make an extra batch of my amazing asian sauce, and cook it separately on the stove top.I love having the extra sauce in the fridge for left overs or just for extra saucy goodness on my Chow Mein. For full recipe ingredients and instructions see recipe card below!

THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! Start shredding some cabbage. This Chow Mein Recipe is:
