Lo Mein

Well, it's Wednesday, which means I am officially tired. Too tired to cook anything that takes more than thirty minutes, and too tired to care what my boyfriend and my little brother want to eat. Thus, we have Lo Mein - easy, healthy, delicious. I like to serve this with veggie dumplings...the frozen kind...not the fancy, do-it-yourself kind.


*1 onion, diced
*2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
*1 tsp ground ginger
*3 carrots, sliced thin
*2 zucchini, sliced
*1 baby bok choy (or napa cabbage), shredded
*1 small can sliced water chestnuts
*1 tablespoon veggie oil (sesame is best if you have it, but not nessecary)
*3 to 4 tablespoons soy sauce
*lo mein noodles, cooked

1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and veggie oil. Pour half of the mixture into a skillet and saute the onion and garlic with the ground ginger until the onion is soft.
2. Add the carrots, cook for about four minutes before adding the zucchini, bok choy, and water chestnuts. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the noodles and the remaining soy sauce mixture and toss until the liquid is absorbed.

This makes about six servings, depending on how many boys come over to sponge off you.


PS♥This tastes even better when eaten on the couch, in front of the TV, watching DVDs of TV shows. Sweatpants make it near-orgasmic.
