FAQs

Q1: Can I use spaghetti instead of lo mein noodles?
Yes! If lo mein noodles aren’t available, boiled spaghetti or linguine works as a great substitute.

Q2: Can I make it vegetarian?
Absolutely. Replace chicken with tofu or mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian version.

Q3: What’s the difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein?
Lo Mein is soft and saucy, while Chow Mein is stir-fried longer for a crispier noodle texture.

Q4: Can I prepare the sauce in advance?
Yes. You can mix and refrigerate the sauce for up to 3 days for quick meal prep.

Q5: How to store leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or soy sauce.
