Boil a pot of water and cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegan chicken strips and beef strips. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, red bell pepper, broccoli, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the vegan meats to the skillet, then add the drained noodles. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles and toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
Season with salt and pepper, and toss in the green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
