Have a leftover pork chop? Use it to make lo mein for 2. My husband and I love lo mein, so we decided to give making it a try. It turned out amazing. Feel free to use different vegetables, these are just the ones I like. Remember to use the same measurement of the vegetable you are replacing so you have enough sauce to cover everything.
