UPDATED:  With new photos May 2016 from original January 2014 post.

I’m sure you’re getting tired of hearing it, but my family loves any type of noodles. We have so many favorites:

Chicken Lo Mein

Rainbow Noodles

Chinese Chicken Chow Mein

Vietnamese Pho Beef Rice Noodle Soup

During Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year, noodles are a must since they symbolize long life.

 

Shrimp Lo Mein makes the perfect easy weeknight meal! Skip the takeout, this is SO much better!!
These Shrimp Stir-Fry Lo Mein Noodles  are one of the traditional dishes that my family always has on our feasting table.

Not only are the long noodles auspicious, but the shrimp symbolizes happiness because in Chinese shrimp is pronounced “haa” and that sounds like laughter.

 

Shrimp Lo Mein makes the perfect easy weeknight meal! Skip the takeout, this is SO much better!!
This colorful lo mein noodle dish is seriously a lazy cooks dream! It comes together so fast and effortlessly which makes it perfect for busy weeknights, when we all just need a quick and tasty meal!

Plus, you gotta love how easy noodles are to customize with whatever you have on hand. We used bell peppers and shredded carrots this time but they work well with pretty much whatever veggies you have lying around in your fridge.

So bright, flavorful and much easier than picking up takeout!
