What you’re looking at is my quickly thrown together lo mein with the ingredients I had on hand and it was as delicious as my favorite takeout spot.
HOW DO YOU MAKE CHICKEN LO MEIN?
First, cook thinly sliced chicken in a pan until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and place onions, carrots, celery and cabbage in the pan. Cook the veggies until just softened. Next, cook the garlic in the pan for 30 seconds. Add the noodles and cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LO MEIN AND CHOW MEIN?
A traditional chow mein has noodles that are boiled, then stir fried until having a slightly crisped exterior while lo mein is boiled then tossed in a sauce without cooking the noodles an additional amount. The noodles are roughly the same, both egg noodles, but lo mein noodles are normally thicker and chewier.
Vegetable Lo Mein: The easiest of all the varieties, add in your favorite vegetables cooked until just softened but still with a crisp bite.
