One of the best parts of ordering Chinese Food to me is having leftovers the next day.
I usually make sure I order extra, just so I can enjoy it all over again.
Lo Mein is one of my favorites.
I typically order Chicken Lo Mein, but once I tried making Lo Mein at home with ground pork, I was hooked!
This is one of those go-to meals for me, I make it OFTEN.
Saute the ground pork with scallions and asparagus.
Ladle pasta in so the starch of the pasta water helps thicken the sauce.
Pour the sauce over and give it all a toss.
- 1 pound fettuccine, spaghetti, linguine cooked according to package
- 1 lb ground pork
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 bunch asparagus (approx ¾ lb), cut into 1½ inch pieces
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1 carrot, julienned
- Cook pasta according to the package.
- In skillet cook ground pork.
- Add in asparagus and scallions.
- Cook on medium heat.
- Prepare sauce: Mix water, bouillon, soy and oyster sauce along with sesame oil and vinegar together.
- When pasta is finished cooking, do not drain, but ladle the pasta over the pork and asparagus.
- Pour on sauce and stir.
- Add carrot and mix together.
Stir in carrot at the end.
I make this meal just about every week. I vary the vegetables according to what is in season. This is a crowd pleaser, it reheats wonderfully. It really is like having great Chinese food leftovers in your refrigerator, it’s so good….some days I eat it for breakfast!

September 13, 2012 at 11:20 amI made this recipe last night but substituted broccoli because my boyfriend doesn’t like asparagus. I also used Japanese noodles instead of fetuccini. It was delicious and I’m having leftovers for lunch! Thank you for this easy meal idea!

January 28, 2017 at 3:15 amI tsp chicken bouillon? Is that the dry bouillon?
Diane says
February 1, 2017 at 12:07 pmI often use the dry chicken bouillon, if you have the paste type it will still be a teaspoon. You can adjust the amount to you liking.
