Healthy Vegetable Lo Mein

I LOVE Chinese food but hate the way I feel after I eat it! This lo mein is SO easy and NOT loaded with sodium and msg. You can easily monitor how much salt you put in it, and you feel good after you eat it! The products I used are from my trusty Trader Joes, but feel free to use whatever your favorite vegetables you like. Shrimp or chicken would be great too! 


You will need: 

• 1 package of gluten free spaghetti 
(Brown rice pasta worked great)
• 4 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 package of stir fry veggies
• 1/4 cup of soyaki (a teriyaki sauce) OR low sodium soy sauce
• red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper
• vegetable oil 

Heat a pan on medium-high flame with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the veggies and sauté for about 8-9 minutes. Add a dash of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Now add the garlic, stirring frequently so it doesn't burn. 



Meanwhile, boil a pot if water for the pasta. 

Once the veggies are cooked down, add the sauce and lower flame. 





Drain the pasta when it's done, add to the pan, toss and serve! Enjoy!
