Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat: Toss in a hot skillet with a splash of soy sauce or water to loosen noodles. Protein swap: Try shrimp, beef, pork, or tofu instead of chicken. Gluten free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles instead of lo mein. Noodle swap: Spaghetti, linguine, rice noodles, or ramen all work great.
