Rainbow Lo Mein
Rainbow Lo Mein with hearty, crunchy and colorful veggies is a favorite dinners in my household. This is a perfect dairy free meal with so many nutritional values.
My kids love this Rainbow Lo Mein. This is a perfect way to get so many fresh veggies in their tummy! Every time they have this, they say “yummy yummy in my tummy”! I love it when they eat healthy meals like this!
Once you prepare the veggies and cook noodles, it’s pretty quick to put it all together. The key to this recipe is to keep the veggies crunchy while you cook them.
I like to saute ginger, garlic and serrano pepper in some oil for a minute and then add all cut veggies, cook it on high flame for 4-6 minutes. When you cook veggies on high flame for short time, it helps burn the water out fast and keeps the crunch at the same time!
Rainbow Lo Mein
Ingredients
- 8 oz Lo Mein Noodles Spaghetti would work too
- 1 cup Sliced Yellow Onions
- 1 cup Sliced Green Bell Pepper
- 1 cup Sliced Red Bell Pepper
- 1 cup Sliced Carrots
- 1 cup Sliced Purple Cabbage
- ½ cup Chopped Scallions
- ½ cup Chopped Cilantro
- 1 tbsp Grated Ginger
- 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Thinly Sliced Serrano Pepper
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce low sodium cooking soy sauce
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
- 4 tbsp Peanut Oil any oil with high smoke point would work
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
Instructions
- Boil the noodles/spaghetti as per packet instruction. I like to run cold water through cooked noodles. Add 1 tbsp of oil to it and mix it well so they don't stick to each other. Keep it aside.
- Heat 4 tbsp oil in a wok. Saute grated ginger, minced garlic and thinly sliced serrano pepper for a minute.
- Add sliced onions, peppers, carrots and cabbage to it and cook on high flame for 4-6 minutes. Making sure they don't get soggy. Cooking them on high flame for short time keeps the crunch and helps get rid some water from the veggies.
- Once those veggies are partially cooked, add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, salt and pepper. Mix it well.
- Add cooked noodles/spaghetti to it and mix very well. Cook for couple of minutes. Add chopped cilantro and scallions. Mix it well and server!
