Quick & Easy Vegetable Lo Mein (Ready in 15 Minutes)

Noodles are my jam.

I could seriously eat some form of noodles every day of my life and never get tired of them!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

These veggie lo mein noodles are quick and healthy — plus this is such a bright and vibrant dish! It truly is a joy for ALL the senses!

Ready from start-to-finish in about 15 minutes (can’t beat that!) this easy lo mein dish is the perfect weeknight dinner. It’s vegetarian as is, but you can easily add your favorite protein (suggestions below) to bulk it up a little. (My husband, for example, is not satisfied unless he gets a certain amount of protein every day).

There is a little sriracha in the recipe, but it’s not enough to make the dish spicy. Feel free to adjust to your preferences – whether you want it to be 100% mild for the kids (omit altogether) or pack a little punch (double or triple the amount).

Aside from being super fast to prepare, versatility is the other reason I love this veggie lo mein recipe! It’s a full meal on it’s own, or your can tinker with it to make the dish a little different every time.

Enjoy!

Add Protein to Your Veggie Lo Mein

This vegetable lo mein is absolutely a stand-alone meal, however, if you want to add a quick hit of protein these are our favorite options:

• Grilled shrimp (click here for our easy Grilled Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe)
• Roasted chicken (click here to learn how we make our own rotisserie style chicken for meal planning)

How to Make 15-Minute Easy Lo Mein

In a skillet, heat the canola oil and add in the broccoli, red pepper, cabbage, carrots, and ginger. Cook for 9-10 minutes until tender.

While veggies cook, prepare your sauce and cook your noodles according to directions on package.

Noodle cook time may vary slightly depending on the brand and style of noodles you purchased, but generally lo mein and Chinese style noodles cook quickly.

Add sauce to your vegetables while cooking.

Toss cooked noodles in sesame oil, then add them to the vegetables. Stir everything together so that noodles and veggies are well mixed and evenly coated in sauce.
