VEGETABLE LO MEIN


VEGETABLE LO MEIN

Lo mein can be made with chicken, beef, shrimp, etc. but I was craving vegetables. I used carrots, snow peas, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, red bell pepper, baby corn, and water chestnuts. Can we take a minute to shout out baby corn and water chestnuts? Why are they SO good.
