Curry Lo Mein

Submitted by jessi_mcg

"This recipe makes me very nostalgic, as it is the one that made me fall in love with cooking when I was in college. All it took was the smell of the mushrooms and garlic sauteeing and I was hooked! This is a wonderful dish that is easily made vegan by choosing vegan veggie burgers and using a different sweetener for the honey. From The New World of Eating by Paula Duvall."

Made for 123 Tag. I was confused by the direction to stir the cornstarch directly into the veggie mixture so I mixed it into the sauce ingredients and then added it all to the veggies.It turned out beautifully...I would easily double the sauce portion next time.I made it strictly veggies with no veggie burger...we're just not a veggie burger family...LOL. I think it would be lovely with shrimp pork or chickn added as well. I used cappelini pasta and also added some zucchini. Very tasty.

Excellent recipe. Great way to introduce curry to kids. Not nearly enough curry for me. (I swear I was an Indian in a former life.) I just added more curry to mine. I used tofu instead of verge burger. I made shrimp for hubs. Quick and excellent recipe. I only measured the curry. I eyeballed everything else. Thanx!

Very easy and quick to prepare! I was looking for something to use up some of the veggie burgers that I had sitting in the freezer, and this suited the need well! In my opinion, it's even better the next day! Thanks, smellyvegetarian!

Well, it's a great recipe! I omitted the veggie burgers, and rather piled in more vegetables, good excuse to do a clean sweep of the fridge! So in addition to the listed veg, I added some baby corn, a baby cabbage (shredded), and 1/2 an onion. otherwise I stuck to recipe, tho I did use egg noodles .. I only had wholewheat penne, and didn't see this as a penne recipe! I really liked the addition of curry powder, (I used Roasted masala), it gave it an interesting bite without overpowering the soy sauce, kind of East meets East! Very good, a keeper, healthy and very tasty! Made for vegetarian Swap, November 08
