Special Notes:

During COVID when all restaurants were shut down. Both my husband and I were craving Lo Mein. So I figured I better learn how to make it. This was an easy recipe that I “edited” until I liked the taste. Now we don’t get take out as when compared, take is is very greasy. We like this better.

I like things spicy so I always add siracha sauce to my serving!

If you want to add more veggies or proteins, go ahead. The great thing about this recipe is it is all about what you enjoy. So, enjoy!
