Lo Mein

25 minutes

This lo mein recipe is very flexible. Add what ever ingredients you think will fit. A popular combination is pork with water chestnuts and asparagus. "Stir fry-style meats and vegetables" simply refers to ingredients cut in pieces that are slightly smaller than bite-size and perfect for pan frying.

Allergens named in the ingredients: Crustaceans, Soy. Flags come from what shops, restaurants and cooks list and from the ingredient names. Always check the label. This is not medical advice.

Ingredients

  • 1 part stir fry meat (e.g. pork, beef, shrimp)
  • 1 part stir fry vegetables (e.g. water chestnuts, asparagus, broccoli, squash, bamboo shoots)

  • Enough soy sauce to heavily coat all the ingredients
  • Enough olive oil to coat a skillet
