My thoughts:
There are a few things to come upwards well-nigh inwards take away heed nearly this recipe. One, it is really, really delicious! Two, it is a fair full of component subdivision for a dish that (three) is almost certain plenty cheaper to buy at your local American-Chinese takeout place.
That said, it is totally worth making (at to the lowest grade once) because it is actually tasty together with I e'er hateful value it's fun to build homemade versions of my favorite takeout dishes. You tin really customize it with any vegetables yous like inwards lo mein. I lucked out together with flora some mung beans together with a mix of "baby" vegetables (snow peas, babe zucchini, together with babe corn) marked downwards for quick sale when I went to pick upward some snowfall peas thence I used that instead of a whole large zucchini together with added inwards babe corn which was really cute together with added some crunch. I every flake expert cheated together with picked upward a purse of matchstick carrots thence I didn't have got to cutting them up. Another play a joke on is to spiralize the carrots and/or zucchini together with as well as thence cutting the "noodles" into 2-inch pieces. So much is going on right now, I've been trying to laissez passer on myself a respite together with move some prepped vegetables like the carrots when it isn't much more than expensive together with the results would alive on the same every flake me doing it myself. Is that self care?
The results were amazing--all of my favorite lo mein vegetables together with super flavorful marinated chicken thighs--and super filling! It made a ton. Way, means more than than two people needed, fifty-fifty with tiffin the side past times times side twenty-four hour menstruum thence halve this recipe for relieve it for a twenty-four hour menstruum when yous are feeding a crowd. All of the lo mein noodles I tin discovery at whatsoever store are 10 oz a purse which is a petty modest for 4 servings every flake a principal (read: only) dish but doubling it leaves yous with a huge full of food. Not a bad work to have got when it is is this good!
