Copycat Panda Express Chow Mein Recipe (Vegetarian, Vegan)

Make this delicious vegan and vegetarian Copycat Panda Express Chow Mein at home! A quick and easy stir-fry with savory soy sauce, fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked noodles. Ideal for plant-based diets and those craving a healthier take on Chinese food!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 5.6 ounce packages Yakisoba noodles
  • 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cabbage thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Set the sauce mixture aside.
  • Remove the Yakisoba noodles from their packaging and discard the included flavor packets. Rinse the noodles well under cold water, drain, and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. Add cabbage and sauté for another minute until the cabbage starts to wilt.
  • Add the rinsed noodles and the prepared soy sauce mixture to the veggies. Stir everything together and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
  • Once everything is heated through, remove from heat and serve immediately.
