Better Than Chang’s Lo Mein is a P.F. Chang’s copycat recipe that
tastes as good or better than the real thing~and costs far less!
This Lo Mein is fabulous! It is just as good as Chang’s Lo Mein, and it makes a much larger amount (and leftovers are delicious).
This recipe is super easy, but will likely require buying a few ingredients that you don’t normally keep on hand. The ingredients will basically be found on two aisles~produce and condiments. Here is the breakdown:
Produce aisle: Snow peas, carrots, green onion, garlic, colored peppers, fresh ginger, cremini mushrooms, and Lo Mein noodles (yes~they are found on this aisle). I looked for Lo Mein noodles forever and finally found them smack dab in the middle of the produce, located in the green onion, garlic, snow peas area. Mind you, these noodles are fresh and will have a sell-by date which you may want to check before buying.
Condiments aisle: Soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha (aka Rooster Sauce). Don’t skip this savvy condiment; you can use this for so many things. Be sure to get the true Rooster Sauce pictured at right. Often called the “crack condiment,” it is the gold standard of sriracha sauce.
A large skillet is fine for cooking this dish, but if you double the recipe like I did, you’ll need more room and higher sides to the skillet. I bought a Cuisinart Stainless 14-Inch Stir-Fry Pan. I use it for this Lo Mein and for this P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef Copycat recipe. The sloped sides and large diameter are perfect for making these favorite dishes.
NOTE: I doubled the recipe below and wish that I’d tripled or quadrupled the sauce. The sauce is good enough to drink, and I will make more of it next time. I’ve heard from several readers who say they doubled or tripled it as well!
Here are a few snapshots I took while making this Lo Mein. If you try this, I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for reading. Be blessed, and stay savvy!
