Easy Lo Mein recipe, beef meatballs and noodles stir fry, in this Asian recipe noodles and meatballs are cooked with a few vegetables of choice and a flavorful, hot and spicy sauce!

A delicious and housewife friendly dish, as it can be made with everything left in our fridges.

This said, it is my habit to shop at the Asian market. I find a lot of inspiration there, small treasures and prices are generally more affordable than in your usual supermarket.

I always have a few Asian basics in store, like noodles, bamboo shoots, coconut milk, dry shiitake, various sauces, etc.
