This vegetarian lo mein is a great choice for Lunar New Year. The noodles symbolize longevity, the mushrooms prosperity, and the cilantro compassion. When stir-frying noodles, the easiest way to integrate the vegetables with the pasta is to use wooden chopsticks in one hand and a metal spatula in the other, tossing the mixture like a salad. Be careful that the wok is secure so it doesn’t flip off the stove as you’re doing this. While we chose ginger root, bean sprouts, and scallions, you can add a variety of vegetables to this dish, such as carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
