Chicken Lo Mein

Does your family enjoy Chinese food? My family adores this Chicken Lo Mein recipe.

I can remember the first time I ever had Chinese food. I was on a date with my college sweet heart and  future husband.

I fell in love with a version of General Tso’s Chicken I have yet to find anywhere since…

They also served up the most delicious egg rolls and pork fried rice I have ever had and again, I have yet to find a place that can even compare.

I do love Puddie’s Pork Fried Rice and we occasionally visit a restaurant that is about an hour away that *almost* as good as that place all these years ago, but it is really out of way.

So, for the most part, I typically don’t do a lot of Chinese food.

Puddie LOVES Chinese food though.

So when I saw this recipe for Chicken Lo Mein in  Gooseberry Patch Cookbook: Everyday Simple Suppers (enter to win a copy) I thought we’d give it a try… thinking Puddie would love it and Addie and I would maybe like it.

I sometimes by the packaged stir-fry in the freezer case, but the sauce is always so salty and just not my cup of tea.

Enter this recipe.

I just loved it. It was so nice and fresh and not overpowered by salt.

Miss Add threw me for a loop gobbling up the sugar snap peas and red peppers like they were candy! She keeps asking me to make this again!

Truth be told, Puddie missed the salt, so he added a little soy sauce to his and that did the trick.
