Crispy noodles with mushrooms and spinach!
Do you know if you want lo mein and chow mein?!! Chow mein means crispy noodles and lo mein are soft boiled noodles.
When I know I want noodles from a take out, I always want the crispy ones. The only issue for me is I don’t find vegetarian chow mein to order easily. I don’t eat eggs so it is even harder. So, I had to buy eggless chow mein and make this. My nephews love this too. They just love noodles.
Okay No more blah blah blah today. For some reason, I do not feel like typing much. So let me go straight to the recipe below.
I added spinach, mushroom and bell pepper this time. You can always add snap peas, broccoli, bok choy or garlic chives.
