Lo mein

Original recipe from Jenn Hardee.

Lo mein sauce:
1/2 c. soy sauce
3 tbsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. powdered ginger*
1 tsp. sugar
hot chili sauce to taste

Boil a 1 lb. box of fettuccine or linguine. I made a double batch of basic egg pasta. While that's in progress...

Stir fry:
Stir fry in vegetable/peanut oil:
2 chicken breasts, cubed, sprinkled w/ salt & pepper, or beef or pork
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
*If you have real ginger, add it here instead of adding powdered ginger to the sauce

When meat is sealed, add:
~4 c. veggies (e.g. broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, red bell peppers, bean sprouts, water chestnuts)

Cook on medium, covered, until tougher veggies like broccoli are mostly done. Then dump in the sauce and continue to cook covered until all the veggies are completely done. (If using bean sprouts, don't add them until right before you pour in the sauce or you'll cook out all their crunch.)

When the pasta and stir fry are both done, combine them in one large pot and let it sit for 5 min. so the pasta can absorb the sauce. Enjoy leftovers for a week.

Thanks Jenn!!
