Right away, I set out to find a good recipe for lo mein. After a little while spent searching, I picked up the box again and well, what do you know? A great recipe right there on the box! I really liked this recipe. It wasn't a difficult recipe, but I have a small problem multi-tasking in the kitchen. This sent me into a small frenzy because there are several things going on at once, but in the end, it came out good! Not the healthiest of recipes, although again, it has to be healthier than the lo mein from the Chinese takeout place!
Chicken Lo Mein
from the China Boy Lo Mein Noodle box, written as I made it
Ingredients:
1 lb. bonless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small chunks
1-8 oz. box of lo mein noodles
1 1/2 c. frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 tblsp. canola oil
4 oz. baby corn
2 tbsp. cornstarch
5 tbsp. soy sauce
4 tbsp. dark brown sugar
3/4 c. chicken broth
4 tsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. minced garlic
Combine cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar, chicken broth, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix very well. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until almost done. Add frozen vegetables and baby corn. Stir-fry until everything is hot. Meanwhile, in another pot, boil lo mein noodles until al dente, or about 4 minutes. Add cooked noodles to chicken and vegetables. Add sauce to pan; mix well until everything is coated in sauce.

was it good??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE chinese lo mein - these noodles to me, looking at them dry, they look just like spaghetti. Now also, looking at your cooked picture it just confirms that they are spaghetti. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to know what you think . . what's your opinion of the finished product PLZ.

Hmm...good point. They do look just like spaghetti uncooked and cooked. I honestly don't know what the difference is between lo mein and spaghetti noodles. The consistency seemed a little different, almost a little sticky or something. I have heard of people using spaghetti noodles for lo mein, though, so I am going to try that in the future!
