Easy Vegetarian Chow Mein

Truly an easy dish that takes under 15 minutes to prepare and serve.  Hold the sodium, msg and God knows what else they put in there and Welcome a nutritious substitute.  We use Braggs Amino Acids instead of soy sauces and a melody of fresh vegetables to make this Chow Mein a healthy alternative.  Chinese takeout has nothing on this dish!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pieces or 85g of dry Chow Mein (Gluten Free) Noodles

1/4 cup Mirin

2 tbsp Braggs Amino Acid or 1/3 cup low-sodium Soy Sauce

1/2 cup broccoli (Chopped)

1/2 red pepper (Sliced)

1 clove of garlic (Minced/thinly sliced)

1/2 small onion (Thinly sliced)

1/8 tsp of ginger (Grated/Finely minced)

1 tsp of grape seed oil or any oil of your choice

Preparation:

1. Boil Chow Mein noodles according to package direction, in the last 2 minutes add chopped broccoli and drain.  

2. Heat oil in a medium nonstick pan over med-low heat and add onion, garlic and ginger.

4. Add red peppers, mirin and amino acids/soy sauce and let it come to a soft bubble.

5. Gently toss in noodles and broccoli until just combined.

Serves about 2-4 people depending on your portion size. 

*Note I have substituted rice noodles instead of the chow mein.  I have also tossed in a 1/2 cup of cooked shredded chicken from the store to please my meat eating boyfriend.
