Lo mein can be made with chicken, hamburger, shrimp, and so on however I was needing vegetables. I got carrots, snow peas, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, red chime pepper, infant corn, and water chestnuts. Would we be able to pause for a moment to yell out child corn and water chestnuts? For what reason are they SO great.
Prep every one of your veggies! I julienne cut (slight since a long time ago cut) my carrots and ringer pepper. My blade aptitudes without a doubt need improvement, I know those carrots above are a chaotic situation haha.
I never wash my mushrooms with water. Mushrooms are wipe like and will absorb so much water. When you cook them they even discharge fluid, so don't wash them. Rather, I take a towel/paper towel and thoroughly scour them. At that point I de-stemmed and cut.
