Quick, how fast can you make lo mein?
Some recipes say 15 minutes. Others stretch it out to 20. But The Kansas City Star's Speedy Chicken Lo Mein is faster than it would take you to order it at a Chinese restaurant.
Speed things up by using frozen stir-fry blend and broccoli slaw available in the produce aisle.
Bonus points: The recipe is also healthier than most fast-food versions because we opt for low-sodium products.
The average 1 cup serving of lo mein has about 500 milligrams of sodium, according to fatsecret.com, a calorie counter app. Our version: 2 cups with 321 milligrams of sodium.
