Quick and Easy Vegetable Lo Mein! Make one of your favorite Chinese food take-out dishes at home, in under 30 minutes! It’s so good and perfect for a weeknight dinner!

Quick and Easy Vegetable Lo Mein

Chinese Lo Mein At Home

In my single girl days, I was a huge fan of Chinese take-out dishes. I had my favorite Chinese place on speed dial and they always knew my order. Vegetable Lo Mein and Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry. This love for Chinese take-out continued in my married pre-kids phase of life. That is, until I quickly discovered how easy it was to make Chinese food at home. And good thing I did because we eventually had kids and Asian food (especially noodles) became one of their favorites.

Vegetable Lo Mein

I’m so glad I started cooking my favorite Chinese food dishes at home because I know exactly what the ingredients are and I can change it up! Add chicken, pork, tofu or beef, or use your family’s favorite vegetables and make it as colorful as a rainbow.

The key to my Lo Mein is using fresh, quality ingredients and produce and making sure you have the right pan or wok. When making Vegetable Lo Mein, I always go for fresh and colorful vegetables. My favorites are:

  • bell peppers
  • carrots
  • red onions
  • red cabbage (for color)
  • sugar snap peas.

I like to add my vegetables in batches because some require more cooking than others and I like to keep a little bite on the bell peppers so I add those towards the end. Add the cooked linguine noodles into the pan along with the mushroom broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and oyster sauce. Toss together for a few minutes, or until the noodles are well coated and heated through. Garnish with diced green onions and you’ve got your favorite Chinese take-out dish made at home!

Make-Ahead Instructions

MAKE-AHEAD Cook the pasta noodles and chop up all of the veggies the night before and keep in the refrigerator. This way, everything will be prepped and ready to go for dinner after a busy day!

I hope you enjoy it!
