not so healthy

Chicken Lo Mein makes a great lunch, dinner or late night snack. If you want a thicker sauce, whisk 2 teaspoons cornstarch into the sauce before adding into the wok.

This came out great but the quantities are based on whatever vegetables we had in the fridge. You may have more, less or different veggies to add. The most important items are the seasonings: soy sauce, white wine, orange juice, and roasted garlic. We also used olive oil to saute all the veggies.

You may add a serving of lo mein; not included above.

This is a version of one of my favorite recipes from the show Cook Yourself Thin. I absolutely love it. Add whole grain spaghetti cooked with soy sauce and you have a great "low mein".

A healthier version of a favorite!

I used spaghetti squash in this recipe to make it low carb. If you want to make it low calorie substitute the beef for broccoli. You could prepare the spaghetti squash ahead of time, it stays well in the fridge.
