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 am going to try this, and I will add pieces of leftover chicken to add a little more protein. I wonder how red pepper flakes would taste….

    This sounds really good and will have to try it. I live in an area where I can’t get delivery and buying it to bring it home gets expensive.
