This is my version of chow mein. I used the produce that I had on hand, but usually I like to toss in some baby bok choy and some broccoli. Also, to lower the sodium content, I try to use low-sodium bullion and soy sauce.
Ingredients
- package of wheat noodles
- 1 bullion cube in 1 cup water
- 3 stalks celery, julienne cut
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbs peanut oil
- 1/2 bag of bean sprouts
Method
Step 1
Boil noodles - follow instructions on the package you choose. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pan or wok, sautee onion, garlic, celery and carrots in peanut oil.
Step 3
Add broth and soy sauce, bring to a boil and turn down heat and let simmer for five minutes. Add noodles and bean sprouts, mix thoroughly. Let sit for a couple minutes and enjoy!

I make something similar to this, but I call it Lo Mein. It’s the same idea, but for the sauce, you mix up a little hoisen sauce with soy sauce, brown sugar, chili oil, sweet rice vinegar & a little water. when you add the noodles to vegetables, then you add the sauce and it all gets coated, then you let it cook for a minute or two to thicken. i don’t use measurements, i just do a little of this and a little of that to taste.
