Vegetarian Chow Mein

Let's not even speak about the huge, humongous collection to various styles and types of Chow Mein. Aplenty mind you. In fact, spilling over crazily. To believe me, do the search in the virtual world. I bet you will be confused which recipe you should nail. Even for the vegetarian Chow Mein mind you. Did I peep or slyly steal other people's recipes? Neh? Whatever for? When we have decided to use our previously gained experiences in our kitchen (Vegetarian Fried Bee Hoon, Mee Rebus Vegetarian, Chinese Vegetarian Noodle Soup, Mee Rojak Vegetarian, Curry Mee Vegetarian & Vegetarian Mee Hoon). So, I say none further except introduce Vegetarian Chow Mein to you right now at this juncture. I believe egg noodles and egg by itself may be a restraining order for some vegetarians? Whereas others are super fine? To the pure vegetarians, switch to wheat noodles and obviously, don't crack the egg. Vegetarian Chow Mein is a truthful bridge to a healthy noodle dish. 

 Ingredients
1/2 packet (300g) thin yellow noodles - rinsed
1/2 ginger - sliced thinly
5 garlic - sliced thinly
1/4 (150g) lettuce - sliced 
1/2 red capsicum - sliced
1/2 green capsicum - sliced
2 eggs (if you want to add)
2 sprigs of coriander leaves - sliced thinly
1 tsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp vegetable broth powder - mix with 1/4 cup of water
Oil as needed
Crushed black pepper and salt for taste

Method
Heat 2-3 tbsp oil and when heated, break in eggs.
Season with pepper and salt.
Fry or scramble, remove and keep aside. 
Into the same wok, pour 2 tbsp of oil.
Saute ginger and garlic.
Add yellow noodles and stir for about 2-3 mins.
Pour in vegetable broth and let the noodles be cooked.
Add the rest of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper
Stir over high heat for a couple of time and dish out. 
(Optional: Serve with slices of cucumber).
