    This Veggie Lo Mein is a quick and easily customizable stir fry. Ready in less than 30 minutes, this dish makes a great weeknight meal.

    This easy Veggie Lo Mein is intended to bring good luck in the form of a long life if eaten on the first day of the New Year. In Asian countries it is tradition to eat long noodles, which signify longevity, on New Year’s Day. You have to try to keep the noodles long, only breaking them once they are in your mouth. I make no guarantees of course, but why not stack the deck in your favor. Give these delicious lo mein noodles a try!

    Veggie Lo Mein

    This recipe is really quick and easily customizable to your tastes. I’ve used the veggies my family likes best – broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Feel free to use the vegetables your family enjoys most. Zucchini, celery, green beans, pea pods or snap peas, even edamame would all be great choices.

    Greens are used to symbolize wealth in the coming year. Generally, the greens used are kale or collard greens, but really any green will do. Here, I am using bok choy in the stir fry and keeping my fingers crossed for a financial windfall. 🙂
