I had a very similar recipe like this about 15 years ago and I misplaced it. I was so happy to find it here; it's a nice one skillet meal for those nights when you don't have much time or energy to get dinner on the table. Even better, the family likes it. Thanks for posting, Jaaynee. -
This recipe divided in half very easily. I had to improvise somewhat. The Ramen noodles I had were chicken flavor but all I had was either beef or turkey. So I went with the ground turkey as the meat for the Lo Mein. It worked out well. I used fresh vegetables which I cut up very, very tiny so that they would cook tender-crisp in only a few minutes. -
This was delcious and ridiculously easy, plus I usually have all the indgredients on hand. Something so simple shouldn't taste so good!!
