Meal for 1, or a side dish for 2

Delicious vegetable chow mein which is super easy to make.

This has a lovely combination of the soft noodles and the crunchy vegetables.

The soya sauce is not raw. This dish requires a very small amount of it.

Use any vegetables you want to, add nuts, seeds or anything else you want to. I added a sprinkle of hemp seeds.

This is inspired by harmonylia’s Butternut Squash Con Agli Olio which is gorgeous.

Ingredients

  • 1 Medium sweet potato
  • 1 Small broccoli floret
  • 1 Broccoli stalk
  • 2 Spring onions
  • Handful of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 Savoy cabbage leaves (or any other leafy green you would like)
  • Small handful of sprouted mung beans
  • 3 tablespoons Cold pressed olive oil (or any other cold pressed oil)
  • 2 teaspoons Soya sauce (not a raw ingredient)
  • Salt and pepper if desired
  • Quarter of a teaspoon of garlic powder or half a garlic clove
  • pinch Chinese 5 spice

Preparation

To make the noodles I used my zester to noodle up a sweet potato. A spiraliser would also work. A grater on a food processor would work but would not give as thin noodles. Put to one side when done.

Chop up the vegetables small. I cut the broccoli stalk into discs to resemble water chestnuts. I’ve been looking for a use for broccoli stalks for a long time.

Add salt and pepper if desired.

Mix olive oil throroughly with the soya sauce, garlic (mince the garlic if using a garlic clove) and Chinese 5 spice. I put mine in a tub with a lid and shook them together.

Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir with a fork to get all the ingredients mixed together.

Eat!

This would taste great if left to marinate.

Mistys1979, I used a regular sweet potato. I have eaten it a few different ways raw and always been fine.
