  • Use green beans instead of snow peas.
  • Use shredded carrots for quick prep.
  • Use a medium white onion, thinly sliced, instead of green onions.
  • Use ginger paste found in the produce section of most stores instead of fresh.
  • Be sure not to overcook the noodles when boiling. They will cook more when added to the sauce
  • Lo Mein is quick cooking so be sure to have all the ingredients chopped, sliced, and measured before you start cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken for up to an hour for more flavor.
