Roast Pork Lo Mein

It has been cold and wet here in Vancouver the past few days. On top of that, everyone has been getting sick, including me. After getting tired of eating takeouts for couple of days, I decided to make something delicious and easy to prepare. So, I made this roast pork lo mein which I stumbled upon a Chinese cookbook.

Roast pork lo mein consists of ingredients that you can easily find in any Asian grocery store. Its main ingredient, barbeque pork, is my favorite to use in other dishes like fried rice and soup. The addition of fresh shitake mushrooms makes this dish more tasty and popular with my family. This noodle dish is so simple, delicious and easy to make 🙂
