Chicken Lo Mein

 

This pan fried Chicken Lo Mein is a delicious Chinese dish that uses some shortcuts to help get this meal on the table quickly, such as using fast cooking ramen noodles instead of regular pasta, which takes at least 10 minutes to cook. Because they cook so quickly the ramen noodles can be heated in the sauce mixture.

This easy chicken lo mein uses chopped cabbage. You can find cabbage already chopped over by the bags of salad mix in the produce department. It will probably say " Cole Slaw Mix". Fresh Ginger will also be found in the produce department. If you don't want to go to the trouble of buying some just for this dish, then you can use powdered ginger. I don't have a measurement for the powdered version so just add to taste.

Note: When adding corn starch together with other ingredients for the sauce, make sure the liquids are cool. Adding corn starch to warm or hot liquids will clump and cause a big mess. We also recommend using low sodium soy sauce. The regular soy sauce makes this dish too salty.
