LO MEIN (TAKE-OUT COPYCAT)



Lo Mein (Take-Out Copycat) image

Lo mein should not be a lengthy process (if Chinese Restaurants can have it ready in a fastly manner then the process should be fairly quick.) This Lo mein recipe doesn't require a dozen of different condiments and the process from start to finish is probably less than 20 minutes! Make it Chicken Lo mein but vegetables that you may already have on hand can be all that you really need.

FAKE OUT TAKE OUT- LO MEIN



Fake Out Take Out- Lo Mein image

I don't get take out very often, but when I do, it's almost ALWAYS chinese. It's certainly my weak spot. The down side is, I don't actually know what is going into this delicious food. Sometimes I don't want to know :-). Okay so who knew it was this easy to recreate something that tastes like it came from a take out carton and certainly is healthier. I used vegetables that I had in my house already but you could mix it up with using snow peas, cabbage, beans, peppers and/or broccoli. I served this with my orange chicken.
