Vegan Chow Mein- easy to make and SO delicious!

**UPDATE: this recipe now has a fun little recipe video to go with the post. Give it a watch and enjoy :) Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel. Please? ????

The other night as I was preparing for the week, I made a long list of all the things that I needed to get done over the next 7 days. I can be forgetful so I’ve found that it helps if I write everything down including the kind of obvious things like “write my blog posts”. This morning as I was looking at the list and crossing the very few things off that I have accomplished, I realized that there’s simply not enough days in the week.

I then figured that I should prioritize the list but that doesn’t do much good either because it seems like every last thing on the list is important. And, so is life, I suppose. I’m not really sure how people do this AND have multiple kids. <<< that truly blows my mind.

Anyways, I’m kind of rambling. And speaking of which, I’ve been making a conscious effort lately to keep my blog posts more concise and to the point with only a minimal amount of aimless chatting at the beginning :) Also, I’m trying to cut back a tiny bit on the amount of photos in each post. While the photography is arguably my favorite part of this whole process, I’m not 100% sure that you need to see the same dish but from 800 different angles, amiright?

SO, this Vegan Chow Mein: It’s amazing! That’s all you really need to know. It’s also SUPER easy to make which is a huge bonus in my busy book.

Traditional Chow Mein has a lot more oil in it than this recipe but I’m really trying to cut back on unnecessary oil consumption these days. But, feel free to add in a bit more if you so desire :)

Chopping up the carrots and broccoli is the most effort that this recipe takes. The noodles are cooked and set aside while the veggies sauté in a yummy sauce for a few minutes. The noodles are then tossed into the veggies and you’re pretty much done!
