- Yield: 5 servings 1x
- 5 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
- 3 large cloves garlic (or 5 small), finely minced
- 1/4 inch piece of ginger, finely minced
- 1 head broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups chopped cabbage
- 1 lb Lo Mein style noodles (Spaghetti or Fettucini can be substituted)
- For the sauce:
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (5 tablespoons) sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup cashews, roughly chopped
- 1 lime (optional garnish)
- Bring a pot of salted water (it should taste like the ocean) to a boil
- While the water is heating, prep all your vegetables
- When the water is boiling, add your noodles and cook according to package instruction and drain with a colander
- Meanwhile, heat a wok over high heat with a little coconut oil (vegetable or canola will work as well)
- Add your scallions, garlic, and ginger and saute for a few minutes
- Add the rest of the vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and cabbage
- Stir continuously for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still have a bite
- For the sauce, combine everything into a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds-1 minute, or until the sugar is dissolved
- Add the noodles in with the veggies and add the sauce
- Stir until everything is combined and the sauce evenly coats all the noodles
- Saute for another minute or two and then remove from the heat
- For a few optional non-traditional additions, top with cashews and squeeze a little bit of fresh lime juice to taste over each bowl
- *If you don’t have a wok, a large saute pan will work too!
