Vegetable Lo-Mein

Ingredients: 
  • 1 lb. thin rice pasta
  • 1 Onion, large
  • 1-1/2 tbsp. Garlic, crushed
  • 3-4 Carrots
  • 1 Zucchini Squash, large
  • 1-2 Broccoli stalks
  • 1 Bell or Italian Pepper, red or green
  • 1 Tomato (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. Ginger, ground
  • Cayenne Pepper (to taste)
  • wheat-free tamari sauce
Instructions: 

*Note: If you happen to have a Vietnamese or some type of Asian grocery in your area, have a look around for rice noodles.

*I suggest you prepare all veggies ahead of time, and then add them in the order they are listed below

1) Wash and peel the onion and garlic. Slice the onion and cut into half rings, and place in the wok (or large frying pan if you don't have one).

2) Crush the garlic and add to the wok. Wash and peel the carrots; then using the vegetable peeler, make long thin carrot strips and add to the wok.

3) Wash and clean the zucchini, broccoli and pepper. Cut the zucchini and broccoli into bite-sized pieces, and cut the pepper into strips. Add to the wok. Add the ginger and hot pepper.

4) When veggies have reached the desired texture (some people like their veggies crunchy while others like them cooked more), add in cooked pasta. Remove from heat and toss.
