Vegetarian Chow Mein


Serves 4

Ingredients:

1/2 pound dried or fresh egg noodles

2 ounces celery
2 ounces canned bamboo shoots
2 tablespoons peanut oil for Stir-frying
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small onion, finely sliced
1/2 pound small button mushrooms, whole
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
3 tablespoons vegetable stock
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 pound bean sprouts



Garnish:

Fresh coriander sprigs



Directions:



1. If you are using fresh noodles, blanch them first in a large pot of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. If you are using the dried noodles, cook in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the noodles, then put them into cold water until required.

2. String the celery and slice diagonally. Shred the bamboo shoots.

3. Heat a wok or large frying-pan and add the oil. When moderately hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the onion, mushrooms, celery, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry for about 5 minutes.

4. Drain the noodles thoroughly and put into the wok. Continue to stir-fry for 1 minute then add the rest of the ingredients except the bean sprouts. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes and then add the bean sprouts. Give the mixture a good stir and turn it onto a serving platter.

5. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs.

(Based on a medium sized onion; also, the database does not have a category for dark soy sauce. Just to give an idea of how much it helps to cut back on oil in cooking, using 3 tablespoons instead of 2 increases the calorie count to 364 calories per serving).

You could probably use something else besides egg noodles.

I use egg noodles for fettucine alfredo (yeah I know, that's not vegan
either) when I make it but other pasta works just about as well.

not to mention a lot of so called "egg noodles" don't have egg in them at
all.

I don't think that substitutions are the point. It's just good
netiquette to post vegan recipes to this group, unless you are looking
for help in substituting. The OP's primary motivation in posting these
recipes seems to be to promote himself and his website, not to share
vegan recipes (or he'd actually take the time to make the substituitions
himself).

I don't mean this to sound like "what are you doing *here* ?".

If you are not vegan, why are you reading this group?
I don't think using egg noodles once in while makes someone a on vegan-it is
the spirit...My real dressy shoes are leather-I wear them 4 or 5 times a
year..

Yes, I agree with you. I was just making a suggestion on how it might be
changed.

Yeah, I have a bunch of items like a leather coat that I bought long before
I went vegan that I refuse to just throw away. The cow is dead, the damage
has been done, and I need to stay warm. I'm not into making "statements"
with my clothes anyway, which is probably unnaceptable to some of the hard
core dogmatists, but whaddyagunna do?
