Vegetable Lo Mein

 One of our favorite places to eat is Panda Express. I love to find recipes to replicate at home. We have a favorite Sweet and Sour chicken recipe, ham fried rice recipe, black pepper chicken recipe and now this vegetable lo mein recipe. Who needs to go out to eat anymore?! 

I love how easy this is to make and all the veggies that are loaded into it.
