Chicken Lo Mein - A Noodle Experience
I ordered lo Mein, and as I took a bite, I took photos. My coworker was still giggling about it hours later. Well, I protested, how am I going to remember what is supposed to be in it if I don't take pictures.
It was basically noodles, covered with a gravy.
I used two frying pans. One for noodles, and the other for frying the vegetables. The vegetables were were started before I started the water for boiling. I wanted to make sure the vegetables had time to start to brown before I added the chicken and mushrooms.
Just before adding the noodles, I mixed the sauces and gravy together and dumped the sauce into the vegetables. The noodles take 3 minutes into the boiling water
So now, I have made the decision to make my own. I have a snack size bags of frozen chopped celery and frozen sweet pepper. I'm going to fry my vegetables together after I chop them all up so for now I will just accumulate the chopped bits in a bowl.
Brussels sprouts, sweet onion, pieces of onion tops, frozen carrot shreds, fresh baby carrots sliced the long way.
I sliced some cooked chicken tenders into chunks. There is some brown gravy and bottles of oyster sauce, Thai Chili sauce, and soy sauce.
Oh, and lo mein noodles.
