Dorm Room Lo Mein

Today's recipe is a quick weeknight dinner I guarantee your kids will LOVE. It got it's name from the noodles we'll be using instead of traditional Lo Mein noodles.... Ramen! Actually, Ramen is a type of Lo Mein noodle. True fact. Well today it gets dressed up a bit.

Dorm Room Lo Mein:
3 small chicken breasts, cubed
1 whole carrot, peeled and sliced
1 stock celery sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 packs of ramen cooked without seasoning
salt/pepper
Pinch of garlic powder
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Cook noodles per package instructions (minus seasoning) drain and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken with salt and pepper in the vegetable oil. Cook until just done, add carrots and celery and cook for 2 minutes.

Add noodles, soy sauce and garlic to the pan. Toss ingredients until everything is coated and warmed through. 

And voila. 10 minute dinner, super kid friendly. You could now top with crispy noodles, or thin sliced almonds for some crunch. Yum.
