Chinese food made at home! This dish was so fast and easy, it is a great choice for a busy weeknight dinner.

This lo mein could easily be made with steak or shrimp instead of chicken, and is a great way to use up any veggies in your fridge!

  2. I made this for dinner and it was a keeper! I had to adapt for a low sodium diet but it worked. I used 1/2pound of lean ground beef in stead of chicken.

  7. Very nice recipe. I doubled the sauce and used regular spaghetti (thick, cooked al dente) because that’s what I had on hand and it turned out great. Everyone loved it. We named it Wuhan Lo Mein just for a bit of comic relief.

  8. I made this tonight with only a couple alterations. I added about 3/4 cup of low sodium chicken broth with a little cornstarch because my husband likes saucy Asian dishes. I thinly sliced baby carrots instead of shredding them, We loved it! I will definitely make this again! Thanks!
