Here’s one of my favorite HEALTHY and DELICIOUS dishes, Vegetarian Shanghai Noodles 素上海粗炒麵. I promise my Vegetarian Shanghai Noodles will taste so much better than any takeout with my secret easy savory sauce. It’s packed with a ton of flavors AND vegetables. This simple, delicious, and healthy dinner is ready in less than 20 minutes, making it the perfect vegetarian (or vegan) weeknight dinner or lunchbox base!
Prepare the Noodles based on the instructions. The noodles I am using today are pre-cooked, so I pour hot water over the noodles to clean them and rinse them with cold water before using them.
Turn the heat to medium-high and drizzle in some oil. Once the pan is hot, add in the cabbage first, followed up by the red pepper and carrots, then shiitake mushroom, and finally the noodles. Pour in the sauce and put the lid on, and let it cook for 6-8 minutes.
After 6-8 minutes, the liquid should be soaked in the noodles, mix everything.
Turn the heat to high and saute the noodles for another 2-3 minutes.
Optional, but HIGHLY recommended, drizzle on Homemade Chilli Oil.
