Rainbow Veggie Lo Mein

Every month JOY of KOSHER brings you the latest in cooking trends and delicious foods, straight from in NY. A personal chef and caterer, Naomi loves bringing people together with good food!

WHAT’S COOKING IN NAOMI’S KITCHEN?

Some recipes only call for half a cup of this and a few tablespoons of that, especially for fresh herbs and produce. What do we do with the leftover ingredients? Instead of throwing away fresh good quality foods, we can combine them together with other ingredients and create dishes everyone will love.   

So, instead of playing Chopped in our kitchens, fighting the clock trying to use up the leftovers in our fridge, let’s be resourceful! These recipes are great because they’re easy to prepare and the ingredients are interchangeable. A veggie lo mein or bean salad are fancy and quick ways to reuse any combination of leftover vegetables you have and they’ll come out delicious every time.

RAINBOW VEGGIE LO MEIN

This colorful vegetable lo mein is a yummy way to use up produce in the fridge, combined with egg noodles and a savory sauce based on Asian ingredients that are already in your pantry.

About Naomi Hazan

My name is Naomi Hazan and I’m a self-taught chef based in New York. I’ve been in love with food for as long as I can remember and credit that mostly to my strong Middle Eastern roots and family. I started cooking at the age of twelve for family, holidays, and small get togethers among my friends. Today I cater for all types of affairs from intimate sheva brachots to events that hold two hundred people. I’ve always had a strong belief that good food is one of the best ways to bring people together. After all, some of the best times are shared over a great meal.
