Lo Mein Stir Fry

Submitted by OceanLuvinGranny

"I got this from a vegeterian cooking show and I adjusted it to our particular taste. It is a good recipe and you could add chicken or beef if you want to. I have added a couple of cans of Tyson white chunk chicken meat to it when I didn't have any chicken cooked. A simple recipe and quickly put together. The recipe calls for whole wheat spaghetti noodles. I have made it with regular ones and it is fine. The whole wheat noodles do give it a richer flavor and are better for you."
