Pork and Vegetable Lo Mein (Easy and Delicious)

This got good reviews from my family, and it's quick to make. Next time, I would start to cook the onions a bit ahead of the meat because when it's thinly sliced like that, the onions were still pretty raw when the meat was cooked. Also next time, I would give the sliced carrots a head start on the rest of the vegetables and add the cabbage last. Thanks for posting.

This is delicious, LeeAnn!!! It makes such a pretty dish, too, with all the colors in the veggies. I am a garlic freak, so rather than sauteing it in with the pork, I ground it with a little salt in my mortar & pestle and mixed it into the soy sauce. I just prefer the way that method distributes the flavor. Wonderful and fast meal. Thanks!

This was a huge hit with my picky family! I followed the recipe exactly, using baby bok choy, and yellow bell pepper. It's a very attractive and colorful dish, and the flavor can't be beat. Instead of measuring out the crushed red pepper, I sprinkled it on until it looked right for our taste. It wasn't too hot, but added the perfect amount of heat. I also used the pre-shredded cabbage and the matchstick size pre-cut carrots, which made this so quick and easy to prepare. You have a real winner here, Leeannr!

Simple and fabulous. I had it for lunch the next day and it reheated well and was even better. I sprinkled chopped green onion on top. Next time I am adding water chestnut because I think the crunch would be nice. This really is a recipe you can do alot with if you have picky veggie eaters. THANKS CHICKIE!

Simply outstanding! This was my first attempt at making Lo Mein and this it was delicious! I used pre-chopped cabbage and carrots as I was feeling rather lazy. I added a tad bit more pasta and just a bit more soy sauce as I wasn't sure how much this would make. It makes a lot! I ate this for lunch the next day and I swear it was even better! I loved the little bit of spice from the pepper...I may have added more but I'm not sure as I never measure anything! I can't brag enough about this one, Leanne. Thanks for posting!

Quite often, I cook double on pasta, for it will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Using that already cooked angel hair pasta and cutting my own vegetables, this still came together in a hurry. I've tried several pork lo-mein recipes, but this is the one I'll continue to use and isn't that a good thing?

Definitely a hit with my family!!! I used the bagged coleslaw and the bagged shredded carrots, how quick and easy. I left out the peppers because the kids won't eat them, but it was delicious. I can't wait to make it again. Great recipe LeeAnn!!! :)

Super recipe! I left out the Bok Choy, and I used a combination of chicken breast, and pork tenderloin, I also just seasoned the red pepper flakes to what I thought would agree with us. The result was just wonderful... spicy, and so flavorful. Also great presentation, a very colorful dish. This was pretty easy to throw together as well, not much prep involoved, and ingredients that I would easily have on hand. A definate keeper at our house!

By the time I sat down to eat my fiance had already eaten almost half of his first serving!! He absolutely loved this dish and so did I. This recipe is so flexible. I think next time we are going to add mushrooms and use chicken instead of pork. This was great!!! Thanks LeeAnn for an awesome receipe!

This was very good. I was worried it would be a little bland. I added some fresh ginger and extra soy sauce and some oyster sauce which seemed to kick it up a bit. I also used authentic chinese noodles. Thanks!

Quick, easy, delicious! I used chicken instead of pork (what I had), and I deglazed the pan with a splash of wine (extra yum!). I varied the vegetable proportions and amounts based on what I had available, and after eating it, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. I love flexible recipes!

What a great recipe. Even if I didn't follow it. I cooked the pork, garlic and red pepper flakes, then added the veggies in their cooking time order. Then added the coleslaw mix, then spaghetti and soy sauce. I also added sesame oil and sprinkled a little 5 spice seasoning. Delicious. This is a keeper.

It was very good. Not as good as a traditional, but very close and it was easy. Directions were great, quick, and stuff I had on hand. I did use chinese noodles which I prefer, but I had them, and spaghetti will work as well. I didn't up the red pepper as lo mein is not meant to be spicy. I didn't add the amount of red pepper as it often not in traditional lo mein, but used just 1/4 cut very fine chopped. But added snow peas and water chestnuts thin sliced. I used soy but added a little beef broth and cornstarch because at the end of cooking, I felt it needed a little broth/sauce, it was too dry for me. I had sort of forgot about making this at home so this was nice to see and I completely enjoyed it. I definitely liked the peas, all the peppers would be too strong of flavor for the lo mein to me. But all the amounts and cooking time were perfect. I also know the water chestnuts are not common, but I had a 1/2 can left in the fridge and probably wouldn't add them normally, but they were on hand. So overall, it was a very nice recipe and I will make it again. It came out very good. Just not the peppers for me. But very well liked. Kim

Excellent! This is a very versatile dish next time I'm going to add snow peas and maybe shrimp...the possibilities are endless! I did add a smidge of Chinese 5-spice powder...yum!

This recipe was easy and delicious. Reading the other reviews, I noticed the recipe was easy to manipulate, so I changed it based on what I had on hand keeping the base the same. I used coconut oil instead of olive because it doesn't burn as easily at higher temps. For the vegetables I used scallions (put the white parts in with the meat instead of onion, but the green parts in with the cabbage), 2 cloves of garlic with the meat, 4 more with the veggies, 3 carrots, 12 purple yard beans, 8 flat green beans and 1/2 a head of napa cabbage (waited to add the cabbage and green scallions til the carrots and beans were close to ready). I also used soba noodles instead of spaghetti just because I had them. The recipe was easy, delicious, and didn't require a special trip to the grocery store. Thank you!!

This is a great quick and easy recipe! I skipped the pork since I'm a vegetarian and didn't measure any amounts except the soy sauce. This is a wonderful recipe that you can customize to your tastes and uses what's left in your fridge. I had bok choy, sliced carrots, onion and green pepper.

My hubby loved this and said it is a definite keeper. I Agree with him too. I didn't have two of the veggies and since all I had was ramen noodles for the pasta that is what I used. Next time I am using regular pasta and adding all the veggies as state in the recipe. I bet it will just be way better!Thank you.

One of my favorite foods is lo mein and I thought the only way I could get a good plate was to buy it. Not any more! This is great, and I followed the recipe as written. Thanks Ciao for keeping me off the road looking for my favorite dish.
