Lo Mein

Lo Mein 003


8 ounces noodles (spaghetti)
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (less than that, just coat bottom of pan)
1 t Crushed Red Peppers
1 Carrot (2 full size)
1 Bell Pepper (yellow)
2 T Garlic (2 cloves)
1 Cucumber
1/2 Cauliflower Bunch
Meat (3 chicken tenders)
1 T Cornstarch
1 cup Chicken Broth (from bullion)
1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce
2 T Honey
1 T Soy Sauce
1/4 t Curry Powder (chili powder)
salt & pepper

Cook pasta in boiling water.
In a small bowl mix chicken broth and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat oil in pan or wok. Add crushed red peppers and cook for 30 seconds.
Add all the vegetables you would like. You can also add some kind of meat at this point, small slices are best. Stir fry for a while, probably 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked and the vegetables are soft.
Add cornstarch mix, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and chili powder. Stir until thick and mixed well. Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked noodles in with the vegetables so it will get the juicy flavor.

I got this recipe from Real Mom Kitchen. The real recipe is in black and what I did is in red. For most of the sauces I just threw some in and didn’t measure it. You can tell that’s how I cook, I just throw together what I like and it tastes good. The only thing to make sure of is to have the right portions of noodles to vegetables to sauce. Don’t have too much of either one. What we made feeds 4. This is so delicious! The sauce is worth buying because that’s what makes it so good. I also like how you can make it how you like, spicy or not or whatever vegetables you enjoy.
