I used to be terrified to make any kind of Asian dish. Each time I tried the food turned out terrible and tasted nothing like the dishes at my favorite local restaurants. Turns out the problem wasn’t necessarily my cooking, I just wasn’t choosing the right recipes. After lots of trial and error however I’ve got a handful of delicious dishes including this quick and easy vegetable lo mein which is the newest one I’ve added in to the rotation.
This recipe is adapted from Savory Bites Recipes.
