Understand, this is American Chinese food, so if you're in China, this may not look like yours.
Last night, unbeknownst to me, my daughter ordered Chinese for both of us. I had offered her a Marie Callender meal, but she said no and went to her room. I ended up eating the meal I offered her. Chicken and broccoli linguini in Alfredo sauce. Then I went to bed.
I heard her get up and go downstairs and thought she had gone to let the dog out. She came back up and went to her room.
The next thing I knew, she was bringing piping hot Chinese food to my room...chicken and broccoli and lo mein. I told her I had already eaten, but it smelled so good, I took the lid off and ate some of it. Then I set it aside and went to sleep,
So, that's how I came to eat Chinese food for breakfast. Technically, it might be considered lunch, but it was my first meal of the day, so breakfast. And it was delicious!

I had to look that up. It is a type of lo mein, according to what I just read. It's funny (or not really funny, but interesting) how many foods around the world are similar to others of other cultures. Pot stickers/dumplings, gyozas, pierogies - all little dough pockets filled with tastiness. Different flat breads like naan, pitas, tortillas. But, it was definitely good.

Some Chinese food are best eaten while it's still warm from being cooked, while others taste better after reheated. Can't really tell why, but I think that is one breakfast that I have tried many times. I hate wasting food, so I am not at all picky when it comes to reheating leftovers.

Whatever you do, don't keep it for long.

It is just a little different from the Chinese food we eat in China.
