Vegetable Lo Mein with Mushrooms and Greens
Inspired by techniques from America's Test Kitchen and Serious Eats.
This vegetarian version follows the classic lo mein method but leaves out meat, stock and oyster sauce, relying on browned mushrooms, red pepper, carrot and greens in a soy sauce for depth.
