Low FODMAP shrimp lo mein noodles
Today, I have a delicious low FODMAP version of a popular dish for you: low FODMAP shrimp lo mein. Noodles with different vegetables, shrimp, and a homemade lo mein sauce.
What is shrimp lo mein?
Originally, lo mein is a Chinese dish with egg noodles. Lo mein noodles are often served with either meat or seafood. Such as beef, chicken, pork or shrimp. In this case, I made a shrimp lo mein with of course shrimps.
Next to the meat or seafood lo mein noodles usually contain different vegetables and a sauce that includes soy sauce.
Because egg noodles are not low FODMAP in large amounts, I opted for the low FODMAP soba noodles. Pick gluten-free soba noodles if you have to eat strictly gluten-free.
How to make low FODMAP shrimp lo mein noodles?
For the low FODMAP shrimp lo mein noodles, I used soba noodles. You can also use (brown) rice noodles if you prefer these.
For the vegetables, you can pick whatever vegetables you like in a stir-fry. Just make sure that you don’t stack vegetables that contain the same FODMAP group.
I used oyster mushrooms, carrots, green bell pepper, and romaine lettuce or bok choy.
The sauce is simple to make. You mix soy sauce, mirin (Chinese cooking wine), sesame oil, and black pepper together in a bowl.
In another bowl mix 1.5 tbsp cornstarch with a little bit of water to make a thick sauce. Stir the cornstarch into the sauce. Then your homemade stir-fry sauce is ready to use!
