However, traditional chow mein isn’t vegan because the sauce contains oyster sauce. But fortunately, it’s very easy to make a vegan version. We’ve been making this recipe for years and now it’s about time that it finally appears on the blog. It’s such a quick, healthy, and easy recipe that only takes 30 minutes to make. So it’s perfect for busy weeknights. To veganize the sauce, I used a combination of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, and corn starch. Just place all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until combined. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, but my favorites are carrots, broccoli, red bell pepper, and green onions. Cabbage and bean sprouts are also a great choice and both are traditionally used for chow mein. To add some extra protein, I decided to add crispy vegan chicken. To save some time, I used store-bought vegan chicken but you could also replace it with dried soy curls. Or you could use my crispy baked tofu, seitan, or tempeh. This recipe is always a real winner around our house and it’s even better than take-out!
