I'm Tess and today I'm going to show you
how to make an easy and delicious
Chinese vegetarian lo mein using
spaghetti noodles. Stay tuned.
(intro)
 
There are
two popular questions that I receive on
my Chinese lo mein recipe videos. One is,
can I make a vegetarian Chinese lo mein?,
and the other is, can I use spaghetti for
the noodles? The answer to both those
questions is, yes. I'm fully cooking a
pound of spaghetti. This recipe calls for
about a third of pound of cooked
spaghetti for each pan full. I'm using my
wok tonight but you can use a deep
skillet for cooking. I have all my
ingredients together and my vegetables
are prepped and ready because this
stir-fry is gonna go quickly. Dinner is
going to be ready in about 10 minutes. I
have my heat on medium-high and I'm
adding in some oil, the whites of garden
onions...
lots of minced garlic, bell peppers, some
celery and this is optional but I'm
adding in a couple red chili peppers for
a little heat. Cooking and stirring for
two to three minutes. I cut my vegetables
into matchstick or julienne pieces so
they mix well with the spaghetti. And of
course, you use the vegetables that you like.
I love fresh bean sprouts with my
lo mein so I'm adding in a good portion.
I really enjoy the taste and crunch of
the bean sprouts. You can get these fresh
at your Asian market or you can use the
canned bean sprouts. Cooking and stirring
for a couple minutes and the sprouts
will start to wilt and mix in.
And we're almost done! I'm adding in the
cooked spaghetti, the greens of the garden
onions, some mushroom dark soy sauce and
this really adds the classic Chinese
Lo mein flavor, and finally this is oyster
sauce... actually vegetarian oyster sauce.
Most Asian markets carry a vegetarian
form of oyster sauce but I will also
leave a link below where you can
purchase this online. And that's it!
Give this a good toss to incorporate for
about a minute and we are ready to eat.
I love the taste and crunch of all the
vegetables. The spaghetti is a good
substitute for the lo mein noodles but
it's not exactly the same. The lo mein
noodles contain eggs and most dry pastas
do not. The spaghetti has a smoother
texture. The lo mein noodles have a
denser and chewier bite so when I cooked
the spaghetti I cooked it to al dente
and kept a little bite. That's important
to note not to over cook the spaghetti
noodles. Topping with some fresh bean
sprouts and garden onions. I hope you
give this Chinese vegetarian spaghetti
stir-fry a try and enjoy. If you like
