                      Best Lo Mein Recipe

                      Everybody loves having takeout Chinese noodles recipes. One good thing about the Lo mein recipe is that you can prepare it differently. Whether you are a vegetarian or you love chicken, this delicacy is enjoyable for everyone. But not everybody knows how to prepare the various lo mein recipes. 

                       

                      Do you want to learn how to cook the best chicken lo mein recipe in less than an hour? We have got you covered. Beef lo mein recipe, Chicken lo mein, or even Vegetable lo mein all come tasty if you are a foodie. Making homemade meals is not difficult. Considering that the lo mein recipe only requires an excellent stir-fried sauce and your noodles, you can prepare in less than 30 minutes. 

                       

                      So, let’s talk about some of the best lo mein recipes you have never tasted:

                      Chicken Lo Mein Noodles; How Can I Cook This Recipe?

                      Just like any other homemade food, preparation is very vital in making tasty food. We all know that lo mein dishes have three essential ingredients to note; noodles, sauce, and vegetables. So, in this case, the recipe is chicken which must be present in the preparation. 

                       

                      But how do we get all these guys to dance together in one room? 

                       

                      Preparing your chicken is the first step in cooking this recipe. Adding some spice to your chicken kickstarts the whole journey. You can do this by rubbing salt, pepper, and some oil around the chicken. 

                       

                      Next, it is time to choose your noodles. The type of noodles you would need for this recipe may not matter. Cooked noodles, uncooked noodles, or even Pasta can do the job nicely. Lo mein would not discriminate. 

                       

                      After cooking the pasta, your sauce follows up as another critical step of cooking this recipe. Dark soy sauce and soy sauce are magical ingredients in ensuring a tasty lo mein noodle. Together, they add color, taste, and flavor to your meal.

                       

                      The sauce makes it possible for everyone to enjoy this Chinese recipe, whether homemade or takeout. 

                       

                      You should also set aside your vegetables, onions, and cabbages as you would also add them while cooking. 

                       

                      This preparation would help you try out the chicken lo mein recipe at home. So, let me guide you through the cooking instructions and the ingredients you need for this recipe. 

                      chicken Lo mein Ingredients

                      • Your chicken 
                      • 1 teaspoon of pepper and salt 
                      • 2 teaspoons of sesame oil
                      • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
                      • 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
                      • 2 cloves of garlic
                      • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
                      • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
                      • ½ tablespoon of fresh ginger
                      • Carrots, vegetables, cabbages, and onions (half cup)
                      • Chopped Scallions for garnishing. 
                      • Noodles 

                      Instruction

                      • Spice up your chicken with pepper and salt. Add some sesame oil, then set the chicken aside.
                      • Take your pan, pour in the vegetable oil, put in the spiced chicken, then heat. Let the chicken fry for about 3 to 4 minutes and set it aside again. 
                      • Now, it is time to add the garlic and ginger to the pan. Add your onions, cabbages, carrots, and other vegetables you have. Stir-fry the mixture until they are tender. 
                      • Next, bring back your chicken to the pan where you already have your vegetable mixture. 
                      • Add your noodles to the pan. Put in your dark soy sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and stir-fry the mixture. Make sure that the sauce is mixed well with the noodles.
                      • Finally, put in the scallions to garnish the meal.

                      The instruction explains how easy it is to make a homemade lo mein recipe. 

                       

                      But even if you are not a fan of using chicken, beef would also be a good idea. Are you wondering if the beef lo mein recipe has the same preparation method? Like I said earlier, there are different ways you can prepare this Chinese recipe. So the next section will discuss the best way to prepare the beef lo mein recipe. 

                       

                      Beef Lo Mein Recipe

                      The only significant difference between making beef lo mein and chicken lo mein is the preparation of your chicken or beef. In this case, it is best to cut the meat into small strips and marinate them.

                      This process should not take more than 30 minutes. Marinating the beef would require some ingredients such as sauce, vegetable oil, baking soda, and cornstarch. 

                       

                      Here, you will also need your ginger which the vegetables would be added to while cooking. With this recipe adding the Shaoxing wine is another vital part that you should not ignore. 

                       

                      Get the complete list with the ingredients and preparation of the beef lo mein below;

                      Beef Lo Mein Ingredients

                      • Chopped marinated beef
                      • 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
                      • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
                      • ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil
                      • Baking soda
                      • 1 teaspoon each of oyster sauce and light soy sauce
                      • ½ teaspoon of sesame oil
                      • 2 teaspoons of dark soy sauce
                      • White pepper
                      • Fresh lo mein noodles
                      • 1 clove of garlic
                      • Carrots and other vegetables
                      • Shaoxing wine
                      • Scallions

                      Preparation

                      • Chop the beef into small strips and put it in a small bowl. Marinate the meat by adding cornstarch, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and baking soda. Set aside. 
                      • The next step is to prepare the sauce. Mix the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Fry the mixture for about 30 seconds in your pan. Set aside   
                      • Cook the lo mein noodles and keep them aside. 
                      • Add your garlic to the pan put in some vegetables, white pepper, and the white part of the scallions—Stir-fry for about 30 seconds. 
                      • Now, add your cooked noodles and beef to this mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute before adding the sauce. 
                      • Put the Shaoxing wine into the noodles and allow the noodles to coat with the sauce. 
                      • Finally, put in your scallions to add some flavor to the meal. 

                       

                      You can prepare this homemade recipe differently and still get the same tasty meal. But make sure you get it right with the preparation of your sauce and also the vegetables.

                       

                      However, another thing that you must consider is what type of noodles to use for your lo mein recipe

                      Cooked or Uncooked Lo Mein Noodles?

                      It is not compulsory to use any cooked or uncooked lo mein noodles. They are both great for any of the recipes you want. 

                       

                      However, it is better to use cooked lo mein noodles for these Chinese recipes. These cooked noodles are usually found in the refrigeration section of most grocery stores. All you have to do is rinse them in hot tap water and lose them up. This process will ensure that they are not stuck up together. 

                       

                      For the uncooked noodles, you have to follow some instructions when cooking them. Usually, you can identify these noodles as they are not oiled. So, they would require boiling them according to the instructions on the package.

                      But even if you do not get any of these noodles, spaghetti can be a good substitute. Spaghetti also requires boiling, and you will have to cook according to the package instructions. 

                       

                      So, whichever one of these noodles you choose to use, the result of a tasty lo mein recipe is inevitable.
