You ‘re probably wondering what the heck it is if you haven’t tried lo mein before. To put it briefly, lo mein is a fried noodle dish. A salty and sweet sauce, and beef or chicken is tossed to long, soft egg noodles. The ultimate result is an exquisite bowl. You probably heard about my close cousin “chow mein.” What is the difference between the two? Lo mein is a sauce dish from soft noodles. On the contrary, Chow mein calls for a longer time to fry to crispy the noodles. Both are super easy and delicious to make.
Lo Mein is a Chinese noodle dish often consisting of chicken or tofu-like sauce, vegetables, and a protein source. If you have diabetes, the high carbon content of this dish in Chinese restaurants might not fit into a healthy diet. Eat moderately to minimize the effects and healthy changes in blood sugar levels.
