So Easy Lo Mein 

Once you try this copycat recipe for Lo Mein, you many not want to order it out anymore. This version is easy to prepare and a healthier option. Try it today and enjoy!

 

My family likes going out for Chinese food on many Sunday evenings. Well, who doesn’t? The only problem is, our favorite dish to order which we always do is Lo Mein. My whole family including myself love the dish. We always order the vegetable Lo Mein. They do give you lots of great veggies all tossed in the sauce and noodles. It can be so greasy at times though. I knew I needed to come up with a healthier version that still has all the same flavors as you would get at the Chinese Restaurant but just made without all the fat that’s added. 

 

Here is my version of our beloved dish made so easily at home. We all love my version that when we go out now, we purposely don’t order Lo Mein anymore. Of course we found another noodle dish we love, noodles with peanut sauce, I am working on that recipe but haven’t perfected it. I didn’t get any thumbs up yet so, I know there is a lot of work to be done to get it just right. Getting back to this delicious dish, it’s easy and fun to make right at home and you may even skip a Sunday night out once in a while after the family tries this recipe. 

 

 

Just a note, the recipe calls for  4 to 6 servings. It’s very easily doubled for company and a great dish to bring for potluck dinners.
