Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Vegetable Lo Mein, allow it to cool to room temperature, and transfer it to an airtight container or sealable plastic bag. Place it in the refrigerator and store it for 3-4 days.
To reheat: You have a few options. For stovetop reheating, heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat, add a small amount of oil or water, and stir-fry the refrigerated Vegetable lo mein for a few minutes until heated. In the microwave, transfer a portion of the dish to a microwave-safe dish, cover it, and heat it on high power in 1-minute intervals, stirring between intervals until thoroughly heated.
If you prefer using the oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C), place the refrigerated Vegetable Lo Mein in an oven-safe dish or baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes until heated.
Make-Ahead
To make Vegetable Lo Mein ahead of time, prepare the dish according to the recipe instructions and allow it to cool completely. Transfer the cooled Vegetable Lo Mein to an airtight container or sealable bag and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw the frozen Vegetable Lo Mein in the refrigerator if necessary, then reheat it using your preferred method until it's steaming hot (165°F/74°C) throughout. Stir or toss the dish occasionally while reheating to ensure even heating, and add a splash of water or soy sauce if needed.
How to Freeze
To freeze Vegetable Lo Mein, allow it to cool completely and portion it into individual servings or meal-sized portions. Place the portions in freezer-safe, airtight containers or sealable freezer bags, removing excess air to prevent freezer burn. Label the containers with the date and contents and store them in the freezer. When ready to use, thaw the frozen Vegetable Lo Mein in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it using your preferred method until it's heated through. Stir occasionally during reheating and add water or soy sauce if needed.
