About Chinese lo mein

Lo Mein is a popular Chinese noodle dish that originates from Cantonese cuisine. The name "Lo Mein" translates to "tossed noodles," emphasizing the preparation method where cooked wheat noodles are stirred with a savory sauce. Typically, Lo Mein includes a combination of stir-fried vegetables like carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers, along with proteins such as chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu. The dish is flavored with a soy-based sauce, often enriched with garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. While Lo Mein offers fiber and vitamins from the vegetables and protein from the meat or tofu, it can be high in sodium due to the soy sauce. Additionally, many restaurant versions tend to be prepared with added oils, which increase calorie content. For a healthier option, homemade Lo Mein allows control over ingredients, making it easier to reduce sodium and fat while maintaining its rich, satisfying taste.
