I went and got proper lo mein noodles. I had leftover fried chicken and used the wings for the protein.

I have one more bag of noodles. They are $2.99 for 8 ounces. I will not be buying them again. They are just a egg pasta. I'll make my own.

Cost per person $4 Cost of I make the noodles: something close to $2.50

FlexibleToast is correct that the noodles is an easy part. AP Flour and egg like any Italian egg noodle. Mix, kneed, cut, boil. If you are using commercial noodles you are looking for "Canton" noodles even the dry ones cook in 4 minutes. Fresh ones will be like two minutes.

Stir Fry the veggies. In this case it's diced onion, diced bell pepper, Julienne Carrots, and thin sliced cabbage. About 3/4 cup each. But use whatever you got in whatever quantity you want. Stir fry in a high smoke point oil like peanut oil at high heat into soft and there is some char.

Add the cooked noodles to the stir fry pan/wok with the veg. Add the sauce. Toss until mixed. Serve. Top with the chopped fried chicken that's been crisped in the toaster oven.

The sauce. I made more than I used because it was easier on the math.
2 tbsp soy sauce.
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil.
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed in 1 tbsp hot water.
1 tbsp hoisin sauce.
1 tbsp rice wine.
1 pinch red pepper flakes.
1/2 tsp scant msg.
1/4 tsp granulated garlic.
