Vegetable Lo Mein

I told you I was going to be participating in foodie blogging stuff! I wasn't lying! But really I don't even know who I'm talking to. I only have one follower. How pathetic is that?

This dish was served with Spicy Ginger Cashew Chicken, which wasn't horrible but at the same time it wasn't my favorite thing ever and it's why I'm not including the recipe beyond the link in this post. The noodles however were a different story. First off, that picture of my plate is actually 1/2 serving of the pasta. There was SO much. And it was SO good. This pasta was so full of veggies, having edamame, red pepper, mushrooms, and onion. The original recipe also included mustard greens, which I'm sure would have been good but I didn't have any. I think spinach would have made a good replacement for that though and actually, when I make it again I think I would definitely include spinach.

So anyway, I'm submitting the lo mein to presto pasta. Once a week there's a roundup of all kinds of different pasta dishes. This week's Presto Pasta is hosted by From Kirsten's Kitchen To Yours.
