Chicken Lo Mein | Recipe

Got a sweet asian chick

she make lo mein

In middle school we had to bring in a dish sharing a part of our culture with the class, I had no idea what to bring. So I asked my dad if he could help make something and he immediately thought; lo mein. It’s a very versatile and quick dish— and for a classroom of kids; it’s also very affordable to make. 

My dad made a vegetable lo mein for the class; he said he likes it better with chicken, but really you can add whatever protein you like to this dish. Using lo mein egg noodles; vegetables + meat, it’s also a great dish when you have leftover produce in the fridge to make something delicious. 

Along with making the lo mein, my dad came in and talked about Chinese history and characters, the dish was such a hit that the teacher asked if he had made more. But my dad said it wasn’t a free restaurant lol. This is such a versatile and easy dish, that you can make with restaurant style finesse right at home! Lectures by my dad not included. 😉

get lo.
