In honor of entering into the Year of the Dragon, I decided to recreate one of my favorite Chinese dishes- pork lo mein! I adapted this recipe from the Weight Watchers website and adapted it to suit my tastes. One thing I did not do that I would recommend is to add scallions before serving. I had completely intended to, but I forgot to pick them up at the store and did not realize until had already started cooking. In the original recipe, mushrooms are added, but since I don't do mushrooms, I left them out. If you want them, for 4 oz of mushromms the Points+ value will not change.
Happy Chinese New Year!
