Recipe Just for Kicks---My House Lo Mein

I'm not entirely sure what nutrient is in Chinese food that my body is craving, but I can't seem to get enough. I have spent a shocking amount of money at my favorite little Chinese restaurant (China Star at Business Drive and Union Avenue in case you were wondering and no, I don't get any promotional considerations for mentioning them.)

So I started looking around for a good recipe for Lo Mein. This one is every bit as easy as spaghetti with sauce from a jar and it has the same restaurant Lo Mein flavor I love so very much.




Maggie's Lo Mein

Bag of frozen shrimp already cooked, deveined and de-tailed (you can use cooked chicken, beef or pork or any combination)
Spaghetti or linguine
Frozen Stir-fry Vegetables
Green Onions
Mushrooms
Soy Sauce
Oyster Sauce
Sesame Oil

You'll notice there are no amounts. Here's all you need to do. Thaw the shrimp in a colander (or stir fry the meat you're using).

Stir fry all of the vegetables in a teeny bit of vegetable oil.

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions

Add sauce: 3 parts Soy Sauce, 2 parts Oyster Sauce, 1 part Sesame Oil. Start with Tablespoons and add more until it's at the desired level of sauciness.

How easy is that?!?
