This gluten-free Garlic Lo Mein is lightly sauced with a homemade “soy” sauce made from coconut aminos, honey, lime juice, garlic, sesame oil and pepper.

Jovial’s NEW Cassava Noodles

I have been loving Jovial’s new cassava noodles lately. They are made with just cassava flour and water, making them grain-free, gluten-free and soy-free too. They don’t break down or stick together like many grain-free pastas, and they feel and taste like the “real” thing.

 

In this recipe, I use their cassava spaghetti noodles. If you can’t source those, you can use any spaghetti noodle that works for your body. Just be sure to follow the cook time instructions on the box!

 

If you can’t find it at a local retailer, you can purchase Jovial grain-free pasta on Amazon HERE.

 

How to make Gluten-Free Lo Mein:

1. Cook your gluten-free spaghetti noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain well.

2. Meanwhile, in a deep skillet or wok, brown your onion in coconut oil. Then add broccoli to skillet and steam for 2 to 3 minutes. Finally, add carrots and garlic and cook until veggies are crisp-tender, just a few minutes.

3. Whisk together your homemade lo mein sauce and toss with the cooked veggies and noodles. Top with crushed cashews and green onion and serve warm.
