Veggie and Peanut Lo Mein

As a veggie lover, this meal is one I love to make because it’s flavorful, fresh and filling. This is a great one to keep on-hand for busy nights where you are on a time crunch but still want a meal that is nutritious. The edamame and peanuts provide healthy fats and protein as well as great texture. Bulk up the veggies if you want to have a little extra to enjoy the next day for lunch!

1. Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add veggies and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, or until the veggies are slightly tender.

3. Add lo mein noodles and sauce and toss gently to combine.

4. Place veggies and noodles into serving bowls and garnish with peanuts. Finish with more sriracha, if desired.
