Vegetable Lo Mein Recipe

Plant Based Cooking Made Easy is the must-have cookbook from Jill and Jeffrey Dalton, the creators and host of The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show on YouTube. Plant Based Cooking Made Easy features over 100 life-saving, whole food plant-based recipes that are gluten-free, refined sugar & oil free, low in sodium, and full of scrumptious flavors. Check out this great plant-based version of a Chinese food staple.

One of my family’s favorite Chinese dishes has always been Vegetable lo Mein, but when we would go out to a restaurant (assuming we could find a place that would actually make a vegan vegetable lo mein) 20 minutes after eating it, they would regret every bite. The cheap noodles, greasy oil, and heavy handed use of salt would leave them nauseous (it is amazing how much we are willing to suffer to feed a craving), desperately thirsty, and in desperate need of a food nap.

This plant-based, low sodium, oil free version will leave you feeling light and satisfied! Spiralized zucchini (Zoodles) make up the noodle part of the meal and mix perfectly with the red bell peppers, onions, carrots, tofu with a light tasty sauce.

Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) box of extra firm tofu
4 medium sized zucchini (spiralized)

1 cup low sodium vegetable broth

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
