Preparation
  1. Gather all the ingredients and ensure chow mein noodles are pre-cooked according to package directions.

Cooking

  4. Add the cooked noodles to the vegetables, gently tossing to combine.
  5. Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture, continuing to toss everything together evenly for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and top with chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

Top Tips: Use traditional chow mein noodles, don’t overcook vegetables for a delightful texture, and feel free to add proteins like chicken, beef, or tofu. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
