This is a Chinese stir fry dish made with chicken, noodles and vegetables. Lo Mein is usually made with wheat noodles but I have used thick spaghetti noodles for this dish This dish is easy to make and full of flavor. The most time consuming part for this dish is getting all the vegetables ready and cut into thin strips. I do like to add boy choy ( Chinese cabbage) to this that adds delicious flavor and texture to this Lo Mein.
