"My friends mom is Chinese and living in Hong Kong, and she sent my friend this family recipe, at my request, because I couldn't find a good one on the internet, and I asked him if his mom had a special recipe. If you love Lo Mein and want to make an authentic Chinese recipe for it, then this is it! You can find the noodles in your neighborhood Asian Market and maybe in the International section of your local supermarket. If you can't find fresh (chinese) noodles, then use the dry noodles. Rice wine should not be confused with sake, although sake is certainly rice wine. The two are made very differently, and the recipe below is for rice wine NOT Sake. You may substitute Mirin, which is a Japanese sweet cooking wine. You can change this up and make Shrimp, Chicken, or Beef Lo Mein by using either fresh whole shrimp, fresh chicken pieces or beef strips in place of the tenderloin. Cooking time includes marinating time."

This will be made often here, both DH and I really enjoyed this dish. I did make a few slight changes due to food allergies, I omitted the oyster sauce and used corn pasta instead of egg noodles and everything worked out nicely.

We fell in love with this dish after about 2 bites! I plan to have it again very soon. I might try shrimp and leave out the bell peppers next time for a nice change.

This is 5 star plus, great flavour and so easy to make. Do not be scared off because the recipe looks so long it is not complicated. The instructions are very easy to follow. I made the sauces in the morning, chopped all the vegetables put it all in the fridge - It took about 15 minutes start to finish to cook it. We loved the flavour it was just right - a smooth lovely taste. Thanks Linda for sharing this recipe it is a real gem
