China (#12) Cabbage and Egg Lo Mein

Lo Mein is a wonderful Chinese take-out dish that should never be ordered out. It's so easy to make and so much better made at home.  I bought egg noodles at my local Asian grocery "House of Rice".  I don't know what compelled me to Google the noodle maker "Nanka Seimen" but it turns out there's a fascinating story behind the noodles.  They've been made close by in Vernon, California since 1905.  Here's the website link: http://nankaseimen.com/
To make Lo Mein, the noodles are boiled and set aside.  The cabbage is stir-fried in a little oil, then an egg is added and quickly scrambled.  The noodles are added to the pan and tossed with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ground ginger and siracha.  Toss with chopped scallions, and it's that simple.  Any fresh vegetables or meat can be used to make endless versions of Lo Mein.  Here's the link to the recipe for the super simple sauce, then get creative with all the different ways you can make it: http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/03/easy-lo-mein/
