Instructions
Cook 200 g chow mein noodles in boiling water until al-dente, or according to package directions. While the noodles are cooking, prep your ingredients.
Add 200 g mixed mushrooms (sliced) to a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they sear nicely and turn golden. Add a splash of water if needed.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add 40 g onion (sliced) and 1 cloves garlic (sliced) to the pan. Cook for a minute.
In a small bowl, mix the sauce: 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vegan oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon hot water.
Once the noodles have cooked, drain.
Add the noodles to the pan with the mushrooms and aromatics. Pour the stir-fry sauce on top, and use a tossing motion to mix well.
Throw 3 spring onions (chopped into inch pieces) into the pan and turn off the heat. Check the seasoning and serve. Optionally, add 1 drizzle sesame oil.
