Vegetable Lo Mein

I love chinese food!! Especially veggie lo mein! So, I decided to try to make some...I'm super picky and it was good! The hubby ate 3 bowls full...so much for his end of our "diet". Oh well, y'all try it! Let me know what you think! 

Ingredients
-1 lb vermicelli or chinese noodles
-1 package tofu, extra firm, cubed
-1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
-8 oz can of bamboo shoots (I sliced them thinner than they were sliced in the can)
-1 cup celery, chopped
-1 cup bean sprouts
-1 tsp chopped garlic
-1 tsp salt
-1 cup vegetable broth (I used my handy vegetable broth ice cubes)
-1 tsp sugar
-1 cup water
-2 Tbsp soy sauce
-2 Tbsp oyster sauce
-1 Tbsp flour

1. Cook noodles according to directions. Drain, and set aside. 

2. Add mushrooms, bamboo shoots, celery, bean sprouts, and garlic to a bowl on the side. 


 3. Take a wok or a large skillet, and add a small amount of oil. Brown the tofu in the skillet/wok over medium-high heat.


 4. Dump your bowl of veggies into the wok/skillet and saute until your preferred amount of doneness.

5. Add the salt, vegetable broth, sugar, water, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir fry to heat through.

6. Add flour to thicken a little. Then, toss the noodles with the sauce/veggie mixture. Enjoy!


This recipe boasts only about 400 calories a serving. YUM!!!
