We Love Lo Mein
Oh, Lo Mein! Sometimes I feel like I was born on the wrong continent. I would happily eat rice, pan-fried noodles, sushi, and spicy curries the rest of my days without complaint. When we visited my parents in Tulsa, OK this summer, my secret goal, each day, was to eat at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. It was the constant joke with my family, “Will Sommer find a way to sneak in her lunch appointment today?” Triumphantly, I did most days. One of my favorite midweek go-to meals is stir fry. My kids get really excited when they see me put on a pot of rice and pull out my wok. Yet for a slightly more luxurious meal, I like to pull out my KitchenAid Mixer and Pasta Attachment to make my Homemade Lo Mein Recipe with Vegetables!
Homemade Lo Mein Noodles
Preparing homemade noodles takes very little time for the impact it has on the dinner plate. I use this noodle dough for all sorts of ethnic dishes, but my favorite way to prepare homemade noodles is in vegetable lo mein. Here’s what you’ll need:
Flour – For the structure of the dough. Eggs – This provides flavor and brings the flour together.
Yep, it’s just two ingredients! So simple yet so impactful.
How To Make Lo Mein Noodles
This pasta dough takes me less than 15 minutes to mix, knead, and send through the pasta attachment. Then it takes only a couple minutes to boil. It’s worth every second, to have tender doughy homemade pasta, that tastes and feels fresh.
Pro Tip: If you don’t have these attachments, you can use a countertop pasta maker or even roll the dough out flat and cut it with a pizza roller.
Vegetable Lo Mein Ingredients
Don’t be hindered by the number of ingredients in this vegetable lo mein recipe. You can add or eliminate as many of the veggies as you want. If you love stir-fry dishes, you will want to have these ingredients on hand!
Coconut Oil – Or vegetable oil. This is for stir frying everything. Bell Pepper – Pick you favorite color. Green are more bitter while red is the sweetest!

Shredded Carrots – You can buy pre-shredded carrots in the produce sections. Sesame Oil – Check your pantry, you might already have this ingredient! Garlic – If you are a garlic lover, add extra.
