Garlic Sesame Lo Mein
Quick and easy noodle side dish. You could also make these Garlic Sesame Lo Mein as a main dish or noodle bowl. Add chicken and vegetables, and you won’t be disappointed!
If this isn’t spicy enough add more chili flake or let the pepper bellies add some sriracha or gochujang. The sesame oil is what makes this dish so yummy! The sesame oil is also what makes this dish a great leftover because the noodles don’t stick together.
Kids love noodles, and you can have this side dish on the table in 18 minutes. This has become one of my favorite side dishes. This is one of those dishes that is so simple but so delicious. They are so tasty hot, but if you are a midnight snacker just grab a fork and open the fridge door.
While the noodles are cooking you can prep the rest of your ingredients. I would guess you have these ingredients in your pantry.
I serve these with Vietnamese pork chops and Asian roasted carrots.
