Super Simple Weeknight Lo Mein

I've been exerimenting with this recipe for a while and finally came up with a good balance of ingredients to make a healthy lo mein in a hurry. It usually takes me about 30 minutes tops to make this, so it's perfect after a busy day at work. It's also easy to customize this lo mein to suit your tastes. You can add different vegetables for some variety; use beef, shrimp, or pork instead of chicken, or you can make it a vegetarian meal. The only thing I would not recommend is using whole wheat spaghetti noodles, they can get gooey when you're frying them up in your wok. Otherwise, feel free to get creative!
