Quick & Easy Spicy Lo Mein

"I made this one night when I wanted something quick and easy. I was just going to make Chow Mein from the can but I find that stuff kind of tasteless so I had to fix it up a bit. This is what I ended up with and it was pretty good. I served it with a side of ginger pears."

  1. I'm not normally a big fan of canned chow mein, but the fixings in this one up the taste and excitement quotient nicely. A good solution for a day on which you can't take much time out to cook.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
