I am not vegetarian. however given a desire of this Vegetarian Chow Mein or a bird chow mein, i might pick out this one any day of the week. due to the fact i’m completely in love with the caramelised tofu. i’m able to’t get sufficient of it. The crazy thing is that it is ridiculously easy to make – I feel like a fraud calling it “caramelised tofu”. It’s sincerely slices of tofu drizzled with soy sauce and chinese cooking wine, then stir fried over high heat for 1 minute.

Vegetarian Chow Mein


The traditional chow mein sauce carries oyster sauce (in addition to meat). This vegetarian/vegan model of chow mein is very close to the conventional version, however i have created a sauce with out oyster sauce in it.
I’ve protected instructions to make the sauce from scratch in addition to the guidelines for making this using my real chinese All cause Stir Fry Sauce (Vegetarian model) which, when you have a stash of it accessible, makes this super brief to make due to the fact you already have the sauce ready made! This recipe is a conventional instance of why I always have a jar of the All cause Stir Fry sauce inside the refrigerator (facilitates that it lasts months!).
that is a notable 15 minute meal!
