This Lo Mein recipe makes a delicious, quick and easy meal or filling side dish! A take-out favorite, this lo mein recipe is even better at home!
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.
So, just in case you have a hankering for Chinese as much as I do from time to time, here’s my lo mein recipe. It really couldn’t be simpler and I really like it more than the take-out version!

Yum! This is one of my favorite comfort foods!
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.
I wondered about leaving out the sriracha too, will it make a difference in taste?
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!
Made this tonight. I added chicken and some extra veggies. A little spicier than I was expecting but still delicious!!
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!
I too want Chinese food from time to time! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I would definitely try it myself.
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’m so glad your family loved it!!! xo
Look so gooood! You just made me realized I haven’t eaten Lo Mein for a long time. Gotta pass the supermarket after work to buy some ingredients for lo mein night xD
