I was only 4 years old when Karate Kid came out (I’m totally dating myself here) and while it may be 42 years old this year…it’s still a family favorite for us. We have seen the new Karate Kid many times, but we always seem to go back to the original. It’s a great family movie and also inspires amazing dishes like this Chicken Lo Mein recipe.
It’s comforting and full of flavor. And honestly? It tastes like your favorite takeout but so much better because you made it at home.
To sum up this recipe in one word…it’s AMAZING!!
