Authentic Pork Lo Mein
This is a wonderful recipe I made from a zaar member the other night, the flavours were awesome and the whole recipe came together really well. It smelled delicious while cooking and there were clean plates all round. The only changes I made was to make with carrot and red pepper as I had to use up these vegetables from the fridge and this recipe provided the opportunity. I also subbed bean sprouts for bamboo shoots as I am not a huge fan of them, apart from that I made everything else the same, although I did not measure exact amounts of sauces etc.. I just eye balled it and adjusted at the end for our personal taste. If you would like to see more reviews of this recipe please clicke here.
