I’ve perfected a dish that tastes just like Panda Express’s Chow Mein. It’s ridiculously simple and fast. To top it all off, you may use any veggies you enjoy!

This pan-fried version of Panda Express’s chow-mein is delicious and can be made in a fraction of the time. Unlimited in variety and flavor! Simply use any vegetables you have on hand and cook them.

I really like making my own versions of restaurant dishes, usually at home and with fewer calories and my own twist. This dish may be prepared in about 30 minutes. At that time, I couldn’t possibly travel to the restaurant, place my order, and have everything ready when I arrived. Plus points for saving money and eating better at home!
