Dine in Dupes

Welcome to the first recipe of “Dine in Dupes” where I share a ton of crave worthy copy cat recipes from your favorite restaurant + fast food chain, using better ingredients and all within a reasonable time.

If you love Panda Express then today’s recipe will resonate with you even if you don’t eat meat! Veggie Chow Mein is flavorful noodle dish that you can have as a side in replacement of the rice or just as an entree.

It’s filled with crispy veggies like celery, carrots, cabbage and spring onions that are all mixed together in this lip smacking sauce that is very simple but also has some of the best flavor combinations.

The sauce is a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce (you can use vegetarian version), sriracha, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic and brown sugar to balance everything out. Instead of adding water to the sauce I like to incorporate a little bit of veggie broth but you can use chicken bouillon as well.
