Skinny Sweet Chilli Lo Mein Noodles

Who doesn’t love a good noodle dish!?

And this one is honestly more delicious (and definitely far healthier!) than any takeout!

What’s more, this recipe is totally vegan, low in fat, and waistline friendly!

I love it exactly as is alongside some fresh greens or a big salad, but it’s totally versatile… I added an egg on top (as you’ll see in some of the pics) for some extra protein for my hubby – you could add tofu, edamame beans, chicken or fish. All go perfectly well!

P.s. I came across this article when developing this recipe. I had no idea what the difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein was before I read this, but now I do! If you’re curious (and why this is a Lo Mein not Chow Mein dish)… you can have a read HERE.

And if not, just skip along to the recipe and make this tonight!
