Vegetarian Chow Mein

  1. Begin by prepping your vegetables and set aside. Next, cook your noodles per package instructions. I use a double boiler and leave them hanging over the pot when complete so they stay warm and soft.

    Heat your wok on pretty high heat. Once warm, add in the sesame oil. Add in the onions, peppers and spices and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Add in most of the bamboo shoots and cook for another minute.

    Add the noodles followed by the sauce and most of the green onions. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes or so. Finish by pouring in the remaining sesame oil. Mix well and top with the remaining green onions and bamboo shoots.

    Serve and enjoy!
