FAQ
How is lo mein noodle made?
Like ramen, udon, and soba noodles, lo mein is made with fully cooked noodles that have been boiled and drained. These cooked noodles are added to a wok that already has a variety of cooked vegetables and proteins mixed with the lo mein sauce.
What kind of noodles are used in lo mein?
Fresh, yellow lo mein noodles, which are typically referred to as “egg noodles,” are available in the refrigerator section of supermarkets. Use 200g/8oz of uncooked ramen noodles or another type of dried noodle.
What kind of flour is used for lo mein noodles?
Chinese wheat flour noodles known as lo mein are frequently used in stir-fried dishes due to their sturdy construction, elasticity, and capacity to absorb flavor.
Can I use regular spaghetti noodles for lo mein?
You can pretty much use any type of noodle you want for this recipe. Chinese egg noodles are typically used in lo mein, which are similar to spaghetti in that they are made of wheat and contain eggs. I used brown rice spaghetti because I obviously can’t eat wheat, and it works really well.
