Veggie Lo Mein with mushrooms, green beans and carrots. Packed with veggies and ready faster than take-out.
I’ve been slacking on cooking lately.
Personal life has taken over and I have resorted to eating out more, snacks on-the-go, and relying on friends to feed me.
On a day I was particularly missing a home-cooked meal (but not so much so that I felt like grocery shopping, obviously) I saw a special deal for one of those meal-delivery services called Hello Fresh.
This was the first meal delivery I had ever tried, back in 2016!
They sent all the ingredients needed and the recipes to follow, and it’s a great way to have a home cooked meal while reducing the need for a grocery store trip or meal-planning time.
You still have to do the cooking and the dishes though, but it’s not a perfect world. (Note: This post is not sponsored by Hello Fresh.)
One of the recipes I tried was this Veggie Lo Mein. I loved how easy it was to make and all the fresh veggies made it so much better than take-out.
My only complaint was the way the original recipe was worded, so I’ve tried to make it a little more straight-forward for you here!
I think it took me longer to read their recipe than it did to actually cook the meal.

Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon Hoison sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 vegetable stock concentrate packet
For the noodles:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped green beans, (1 inch pieces)
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 6 ounces udon noodles, (Japanese wheat noodles)
- green onions, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the Hoison sauce, soy sauce, honey, water and bouillon cube and mix together. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil and garlic for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add chopped green beans, carrots and mushrooms, stirring for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add udon noodles to boiling water, cooking for about 4 to 5 minutes. (Or see package for instructions.) Drain.
- Add noodles and the sauce you set aside earlier to the vegetables. Cook for a few more minutes until sauce has slightly thickened and noodles are covered.
