Pork Lo Mein with Peanut Sauce

Cooking time: 25 minutes for menu        Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     Lo Mein is simply a stir-fry with noodles, spaghetti, in this case. I would normally put peanuts with this but, I had walnuts and rather liked the effect.  Besides, they're good for us! Everything cooks in less time than the spaghetti. 

Pork Lo Mein with Peanut Sauce

Total time: 25 minutes
   Stir-fries cook quickly and are very flexible when it comes to ingredients.  I always try for a mix of colors, textures and flavors... And whatever is left in the fridge.  Amounts are not precise, just try to keep it balanced.
