Lo Mein

Love noodles? Have leftovers? Here’s dinner tonight!

Another recipe I did for Gastrolux in their beautiful wok!

I had literally tons of bits and pieces veggies in my crisper drawer plus a huge bok choi. I also had an Asian-flavored pork chop I had left over from a previous meal…what a great way to use all this food some of which may have become forgotten and spoiled!!

I also wanted to try the new-style Kame noodles. I had tried them a few years ago and found them lacking in that even though they were cooked, you STILL had to boil them to separate them. With their new and improved product, you don’t have to boil that solid brick of noodles anymore. Just remove the pouches, squeeze the bag(s) slightly to separate the noodes then just add them to what you are cooking. What a pleasure and they taste great too!
