Lo Mein Like Evergreen

My fave Chinese restaurant has the BEST lo mein I ever put across my lips. It's simple, cheap, and very filling if you need that kinda dish. This can be made for literally pennies and everyone will appreciate this because it can be dressed up or dressed down. Cook and prep times approximate.

This didn't really do much for me. I didn't have carrots, but put in some shredded cabbage. I also added a little more soy sauce. I feel like this is lacking something, maybe if I make it some other time, I'll add some more peanut butter.

    I didn't really like this...I felt like the oil was too much.

    What a quick and simple recipe with staples I typically keep on hand. I added a little bit of left over steak, and it was delicious. I can see how versatile it is, to use any leftovers or veggies you have on hand. I think it would be wonderful with red bell pepper, or peas, too. Next time I'll add a little sambal oelek or some red pepper flaked to spice it up. Thanks for sharing this little jewel.

    I made this tonight twice. The first time I made it I thought it was a little dry so I added a little water. It turns out I forgot to add the plain oil, but I think the taste was still good, so if you want to reduce fat content try leaving out the oil, but not the sesame oil. The second time I threw in a handful of asparagus to cook with the noodles. Both ways this was a very tasty dish and cheap and fast to make. I did end up using some of the seasoning packet and we enjoyed it that way. This seems like a very versatile dish and I think you could add many different types of things to it. Thanks for the recipe.
