From the Test Kitchen

To elevate this takeout classic, we’re highlighting fresh, springy lo mein noodles by tossing them with a sweet and savory sauce that perfectly complements the richness of the pork. It’s all stirred together with tender, sesame-sautéed bites of bok choy and celery for satisfying crunch.
