There are times that I absolutely crave Chinese food. (Like yesterday for lunch.)

For years, I’d just have to let my cravings subside since we live so far out in the country. Then, delivery happened upon my area and you’d have thought I hit the lottery. After a while and plenty of experiments, I finally realized that I could make so many of my favorite dishes at home and love them even more!

Like this lo mein recipe.

Whenever I have Chinese, there is always an order of lo mein to go with it if I’m around. There is just something so comforting about those noodles and vegetables that I just love.

    I have to say … I’ve made this twice within the last 2weeks and my family loves it. I used frozen stir fried veggies and brown sugar (don’t have honey) and man they gobbled it up. Going to have to make a double batch next time. Thank you for this great recipe.

    I too want Chinese food from time to time! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I would definitely try it myself.

    I am eating this as I write. I really like it and would definitely make it again. I did not have pea pods so I used asparagus and a handful of spinach. I also used ramen noodles as I had them. Definitely use whatever veggies you have on hand. Great, fast recipe!

  6. Renee says:

    Made this tonight. I added chicken and some extra veggies. A little spicier than I was expecting but still delicious!!

    I made this for lunch today, and my family loved it! I like how versatile it is- you can use whatever veggies and cooked meat you have on hand. I used thin spaghetti noodles and sprinkled the servings with chopped cashew nuts. Yum! Many thanks!

  8. Diane says:

    I plan on trying to make this lo mein soon. I don’t have the Sriracha sauce. Should I make sure I do buy this sauce, rather than leave it out? I will probably add shrimp to it, because we usually order shrimp lo mein. Thanks, it looks awesome.

    1. Bridget Harrison says:

      I wondered about leaving out the sriracha too, will it make a difference in taste?

  9. Laura @ Laura's Culinary Adventures says:

    Yum! This is one of my favorite comfort foods!
