Mushroom Lo Mein


Chinese-style lo mein gets a heartier and more wholesome twist when you swap out the usual meaty suspects for mushrooms and veggies like carrots and green beans. In this recipe, you’ll practice stir-frying udon noodles in sauce until they brim with a savory, soy, hoisin, and sesame-based flavor that explodes with each bite.

Ingredients 

6 ounce
Green Beans

2 clove
Garlic

4 ounce
Mixed Wild Mushrooms

1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
(ContainsSoy)

1 tablespoon
Hoisin Sauce
(ContainsSoy)

1 teaspoon
Honey

1 thumb
Ginger

1 unit
Carrot

2 unit
Scallions

1 unit
Organic Veggie Stock

1 tablespoon
Sesame Oil

8 ounce
Udon Noodles
(ContainsSoy,Wheat)

Instructions

Wash and dry all produce. Cut green beans into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince ginger. Mince or grate garlic. Peel carrot, then cut in half lengthwise. Slice into thin half-moons. Trim, then slice mushrooms. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate.

Whisk together soy sauce, stock concentrate, 1 TBSP hoisin sauce, sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, and ¼ cup water in a small bowl and set aside (we sent more hoisin sauce and honey than needed).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add noodles and cook, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add a splash of water.) Remove noodles from pan and set aside.

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, carrot, and green beans. Cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. Add ginger, scallion whites, and garlic. Toss until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with saltand pepper.

Reduce heat to medium. Add sauce and noodles to pan. Toss everything until well-coated and sauce has thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes.

Divide lo mein between bowls. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.

Chicken Lo Mein

The secret to supremely slurpable, bouncy lo mein is thick, fresh noodles, which have a satisfying chewiness that you just can’t get with the skinny kind. That’s why our version is such a treat: you’ll be using wide udon noodles, which do an admirable job of soaking up the savory soy and hoisin sauce on each and every one of their squiggly curves. They’re tossed with green beans, carrots, mushrooms, and chicken for a bowlful of veggie- and protein-packed goodness. 12 ounce Chicken Tenders 8 ounce Udon Noodles ( Contains Wheat , Soy ) 2 clove Garlic 1 unit Vegetable Stock Concentrate 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce ( Contains Soy ) 4 ounce Shredded Carrots 6 ounce Green Beans 1 thumb Ginger 4 ounce Button Mushrooms 2 unit Scallions 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce ( Contains Soy ) Wash and dry all produce.
