Tastes just like Panda Express except it takes just minutes to whip up and tastes a million times better!
I love recreating take-out recipes at home. You know exactly what’s going into your dish, and the homemade version is ALWAYS better without a doubt. And this Panda Express copycat is no exception. Best of all, you can make this in less than 20 minutes! How easy is that?
I kid you not. This is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. It requires such few ingredients and this recipe is practically foolproof. And there really is no comparison to Panda Express because it’s just that much better. We didn’t even have a main dish to pair this with but we still devoured this on its own like there was no tomorrow!

I don’t even really like chow mein that much, I know, I know. But seriously, you made me want to eat a huge pile of it! GORGEOUS shots! The steamy hero shot, mmm, glorious. Love it! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! When do you add the celery? I assume with the onions but the recipe doesn’t say.
Mikey, yes, you would add it with the onion. Thanks for letting me know!
It does say to add it with the onions!
