Chow Mein Recipe

Copycat version from Panda Express with a healthier flare

chow mein panda express copycat recipe

This copycat recipe is easy & quick to whip up, plus it tastes great! I’ve made a couple adjustments to make it healthier. For instance I use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (found at most stores) in replace of Soy sauce (Soy is loaded with msg & salt) I also replaced the olive oil with Lard because we have plenty of that always on hand due to raising our own organic fed pasture raised piggies.  I also exchanged out the refrigerator oodles Yaki-Soba for Ramen (brown rice/millet) noodles from Costco or Azure Standard. These are so delicious, organic and versatile. Another recipe I use these Ramen noodles for is Garlic Butter & Capers.Also feel free to alter ingredients and or lesson more for your own taste buds.
