Speedy Chinese Lo Mein

"This is a great addition to your dinner plans for when you want Chinese, but don't want to make the trip to town! You can make this with chicken, beef, pork, or you can make a vegetarian version if you prefer. Anyway I make it, my family and I really enjoy it!"

directions

  • In large skillet or wok heat oil over medium to high heat.
  • Add meat and saute (or wok) until no longer pink in the middle and completely done. If you wish to make your dish vegetarian, substitute meat with 2 cups of washed and pared vegetables; such as, onions, mushrooms, bean sprouts, sugar snap peas, etc. Be sure and use the vegetarian version of the ramen noodles.
  • Break noodles into pieces and add to the meat along with seasoning packets, water (start with 2 cups) and remaining ingredients.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil, stirring and adding more water if necessary.
  • Continue to stir occasionally and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until noodles are desired tenderness.

  1. I really enjoyed this! I used firm tofu in place of meat, fresh ginger instead of ground dried, and made a quick teriyaki sauce to cook everything in, I chose not to use the seasoning packet since the soy sauce is usually salty enough for us. Nice flavor, and great idea. I do think a few more veggies is better and will add additional next time. Thank you! Made for Unreviewed Asian Tag
     
  2. This was quick to make once I gathered everything together. I left out the pork and used only two packages of the noodles, we really liked it, but next time we will increase the number of veggies.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi, I'm a Wife and Mom of three girls ranging in age from 9 to 16. Two of my daughters have special needs, so life is never dull! We live in Michigan in a very rural area near the lake (lots of farmland and fishermen). My husband and I own a copywriting business and I am a food writer and blogger. I have a degree in culinary arts and love to entertain and cook. I'm constantly creating and searching for new and improved recipes to try out on our friends or on my blog. We spend a lot of time traveling and camping in the summer. Being self employed writers allows us to spend all sorts of time together and we really enjoy having the girls home all summer. We try to spend as much time as possible in the beautiful Michigan woods.
