Sesame Ginger Chickpea Lo Mein
with broccoli / cashews

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
These sweet and savory noodles, with a little spice from fresh ginger, will change the way you look at lo mein. They were featured in 2018 and are packed with far more flavor than the standard take-out version. This time around we're adding coleslaw mix for a bit more substance and texture.
