for the crockpot chicken lo mein recipe, for the 1 cup of stir fry seasoning sauce is it the dry seasoning or stir fry sauce in a bottle?
Hi Tammy! This recipe is calling for the Sauce not the seasoning packet, so you should get the sauce! Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
Where can I buy this stir fry sauce at?
Hi Sarah, I use Kikkoman Stir-Fry Sauce and I found it at my local grocery store, which is a Kroger store! Hope this helps, and Happy Crocking!
You give the nutritional values, but what is a serving size and how many servings does this make?
Janine, you will see the serving size in the upper right hand corner of each of the pages. Sorry you didn’t see it, and happy crocking!
[…] I have had a craving for Chinese food all week and this looked simple enough. I used this recipe Crockpot Chicken Lo Mein. But I couldn’t wait for the crock pot, so this is my version. […]
Since you deleted my previous question, I’ll ask again. Should you cook the chicken before putting it in the crock pot? I believe this defeats the purpose of slow cooking and may dry the chicken out. What would work best?
Hello Julie! I will adjust the directions as you don’t have to cook the chicken, it is only to brown the chicken as it adds extra flavor to the recipe! Also since the chicken will be crocking in the juices, it will be moist and tender, and very yummy. Also Julie I did not see a previous post for you, I am sorry you had to post your question again!
OMG..I’ve never read such rude comments from people (Julie)… not to mention how many people can’t just read the recipe and try it..without that same ole…do I cook the chicken first… question!!!!! If it says to cook it…cook it!! If it doesn’t…..DON’T! If it says add water…do it…if it doesn’t…. I’ll let you figure it out from here…
Haha, exactly! Take the time to read EVERYTHING before asking silly questions. God bless our crock princess for remaining patient.
Yummy! I added fresh vegetables with the chicken and made my own stir fry seasoning sauce. Awesome recipe. My whole family (ages 4-33) enjoyed this meal.
Hi! At my local grocery store, even in the Asian section, I do not see lo mein noodles. Is there some other kind of noodle I could substitute for? I have been hunting for them and can’t seem to find them anywhere. Thanks!!
Hi Liz, I would ask someone in the store, as I have always known them to carry the noodles however I have seen it in the frozen section at an Asian grocer before. if you can’t find it try linguini or fettuccini noodles. Happy Crocking!
Can I use frozen stir fry veggies instead of fresh? If so, would I need to put them in sooner? Thanks!
Hello Jen, the fun of cooking or crocking is changing things up that suit you or your family. If you do make it this way please post back and let us know how it turned out! Happy Crocking!
Hi! This looks like a great recepie! I can I use breasts instead of thighs?
Yes you can – just know that it won’t be quite as tender as the dark meat would turn out. Happy Crocking!
Just to clarify, once the vegetables are in you only cook for a half hour right (stirring once during that half hour? Not, cook 1/2 hour then stir then cook another 1/2 hour?
Hi Cristy… Yes, 30 minutes before add the vegetables, stiring once… I will edit the post and clarify for others. Thanks you so much for posting, and Happy Crocking!
What brand or name of the lo mein noodles you use?
Lisa, I just used what my grocery store had on the shelf, I am not positive, but I believe it was La Choy??? Hope this helps! Happy Crocking!
Can’t I just use angle hair spaghetti instead of lo mein noodles?
Connie… You can certainly use the angel hair pasta, but I would fear that it would be a bit soft for the recipe! If you do use it, please post back and let us know how it worked! Happy Crocking!
At what point do I add the ginger paste? Does it go in the noodles or in the crock pot with the stir fry? I am sorry it just seemed a bit unclear and I have never made an Asian meal before. Thank you!
Sarah… I have added a comment for you, as I add when I add the vegetable during the last 30 minutes …. Happy Crocking!
Hi Jenn, Step 2 says to add “sauce, water, chestnuts and onion” — how much water? Thanks!
Melissa the recipe states “Water Chestnuts”, not water and chestnuts… 🙂 Happy Crocking!
