I needed to use the rest of the teriyaki sauce I made. Green beans, onion, cabbage, carrot, zucchini. It could have used some mushrooms.
Cost per person: $3.80
I love lo mein so much. The only grocery store in town used to sell it, but they said I was almost the only person who bought it so they stopped carrying it. Now I have to drive into the city to get it.
I guess I need to stock up on noodles and freeze them.
Even though this has zucchini I would still eat it. Looks great.
There are two Chinese restaurants in town. One is a buffet. Not cost effective. One is next to the Subway and their food is always lacking flavor. Even the spicy items are dull. Even if I could afford it it would bring nothing but disappointment. So home is the best option here. But even buying the expensive noodles makes it cheaper than going out. And, like in this case, put in more veg than noodles.
hey its me the teriyaki vegetable lo mein inspector
inspection checks out; looks delicious
What’s your badge number?
I’m Officer Mein, badge number 6.
Thank you for your service.
I would destroy that, looks absolutely incredible!
Some of my favorite foods are vegetarian meals not trying to pretend to be something else.
Same. I was a vegetarian for a few years and never understood how people would be so confused about what I ate. Most things! Just without meat ingredients. I’m not a vegetarian now, but I still don’t eat any land meats on a typical day (I do eat a good deal of seafood).
I had relatives by marriage that would show up on occasion for dinner. My mom, an excellent cook, was always confused about what to make for these vegans. Fully half of our meals could be vegan with minor adjustments but she always acted like it was impossible.
that looks delicious.
man, the only time I ever wish I had a gas stove is for lo mein and fried rice.
I’ve been using an induction burner for the stir fry stuff. The instant control over heat has been nice.
we moved in a bit over a decade ago and my priority was to get the gas water heater and stove replaced because both our families have a history of asthma and we had little ones on the way. the glass top is …fine…, but those induction stove tops are tempting me. good thing the economy is wrecked so I have little disposable income spend lol
Induction burners really are worth it, whenever you can afford it.
As a short term solution, you can get decent portable induction burners.
Otherwise, the only way to stir fry reasonably well IME on a regular electric stovetop is to use more than one burner at a time (keep one hot and one lower), since it takes so long for the burners to change temperature.
My induction burner was a parting gift when I worked at a homebrew store. It was big and powerful enough to do a 10 gallon batch of beer. A quick check on Amazon for 1800W ones has them for $110 ± $40. All the responsiveness of glass for less per use cost. Make sure you have 20 amp outlets in the kitchen though.
never thought about doing a countertop… tempting!
will any kind of steel wok work with those or do you need something specific?
As long as it is ferromagnetic it will work. Unless there is a safety mechanism to ensure that the pot isn’t too large in diameter.
Thanks!
I am from the internet. I’m here to help.
