Pork and Vegetable Lo Mein (Easy and Delicious) image

My family loves this hearty main dish. I get requests for it often. It's very quick and easy to prepare, great for when you're in a hurry. You can buy a couple of the ingredients already prepared in the produce section of the grocery store, if you like.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces spaghetti, cooked al dente and drained
1 lb pork tenderloin, sliced thinly into strips
1 medium onion, sliced in wedges
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
2 cups shredded cabbage (see note below)
2 stalks bok choy, sliced (or celery ribs)
1 cup sliced carrot (see note below)
2 sweet bell peppers, thinly sliced (red-orange-or yellow)
1/3 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • ***NOTE:I like to buy the coleslaw mix in the produce section.
  • Already shredded--a real time saver.
  • ***NOTE:If I'm in a hurry, I also buy the carrots already shredded in the produce section, and use instead of sliced.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok.
  • Sauté pork, onion, garlic and pepper flakes until meat is no longer pink.
  • Remove this mixture from pan and keep warm.
  • Add remaining tbsp of oil (or more as needed) to pan and sauté cabbage, bok choy or celery, carrots and peppers until crisp tender.
  • Add spaghetti to cooked veggies in the pan.
  • Stir in soy sauce and add pork mixture back to the pan.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.
  • (At this step, I like to get the noodles nice and dark, by cooking a bit longer. You decide).
