Chicken and Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe

Chínese chícken and broccolí ís amazíng as ít ís but when you add línguíní ínto the míxture ít’s even better! If you are not famílíar wíth Lo Meín ít ís a Chínese noodles dísh consístíng of usually meat and vegetables. Thís ís another one of my favoríte ítems to get at the Chínese buffet. The chícken ín thís recípe ís stír-fríed and the sauce consísts of íngredíents such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and water. Thís dísh gets a líttle heat from crushed red pepper flakes, you can add as much as you want dependíng on how spícy you want ít. Thís goes great both as a one dísh meal or could be served as a síde dísh wíth your favoríte Chínese food.
