What type of noodles for Lo Mein?

The noodles are important.  You want dry lo mein noodles.  You can look for these at your Asian grocer, or in the International food aisle at your grocery store.  Even stores like Walmart and Target sell lo mein noodles today so you shouldn’t have a hard time finding them. If you’re in a pinch and don’t want to run to the store you can also use spaghetti or linguine.

What’s usually in lo mein?

Lo mein is noodles, tender vegetables and a sauce. The vegetables differ from recipe to recipe, but I like to stick with broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, carrot and red bell pepper.  The sauce is made up of vegetable broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger and red pepper flakes.
