There is no one recipe for Lo Mein... only common ingredient is the Lo
Mein noodles, all the rest are ingredients of your choice. vegetables,
meat, seasonings... quantities to your liking. I usually make Lo Mein
as an egg-flower soup, normally the meat of choice is left over pork
chops, bones to prepare the stock/broth, then remove the bones and add
the meat back sliced/julienned. I like to add mushrooms, scallions,
ginger, white pepper, bok choy, celery, garlic. perhaps some sliced
carrot for color. I thicken with corn starch, and may add some soy
sauce and Chinese mustard, maybe some toasted sesame oil. I like to
add a few drops of yellow food coloring, and rather than salt I add
MSG. A little trick for replicating an authentic Chinese flavoring in
a noodle soup is to also add a small amount of crispy chow mein
noodles. better if they become soggy, to extract their flavor and make
them indistinguishable.

There are many Lo Mein recipes on line but all are just a guide... ALL
recipes are just a guide. If you've had it before then you know what
you like, should be extremely easy to duplicate.... there is nothing
complex about most Chinese cookery, especially their noodle dishes.

All you need do is to go to a Chinese Take-Out where you can watch
them cook, order Lo Mein and observe... then even a chimpanzee can
cook Lo Mein. At times I wanted Lo Mein and discovered I ran out of
authentic Lo Mein noodles, guess what, damn good Lo Mein can be made
from a packet of Ramen. I learned Chinese cooking from watching
episodes of Bonanza and studdying Hop Sing. LOL

Let us know how it turns out.

I gave up lo mein several years ago as after eating them, no matter what
restaurant I atr them there simply is not enough water on this planet to
quench my thirst. Rice noodles are my favorite now and not a bit S A L T Y..

I would recommend you get tamari sauce. It is the same as soy sauce,
made from the same soy beans, just less crap added to it like wheat.

Try soy noodles if you can find them. Amazon does have them I buy them
by the case.

Â* You'd be right because what you posted , while it may slightly
resemble lo mein , ain't what I wanted . For one thing , my wife has a
sensitivity issue with corn products , probably because of glyphosate .
For another , most of yourÂ* "recipes sound like crap to me .

Actually it's not the same. Tamari is richer and less salty.

A really GOOD soy is Datu Puti brand. Out of stock right now but:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Datu-Puti...ter/877884121?

I get it locally at ethnic asian places, often in a 2 pack with a
bottle of vinegar.

I got some Korean made soy sauce from the Korean mart. I got the middle price sauce of a certain brand. I've never tasted Korean soy sauce. It tasted great i.e., it tasted like Aloha shoyu.

Aloha shoyu is one of the bad soy sauces. It's not naturally brewed.
It's a chemical concoction and contains sodium benzoate. Avoid.

All soy sauces aren't the same, don't taste the same, aren't produced
the same, don't have the same real or perceived health implications.

I only ever tried it once. I didn't like it and neither did anyone else. It
was pretty much just noodles and nothing else. I had the food catered for
Angela's birthday party one year when the theme was a Siamese cat. I needed
food for about 50 people. I didn't know what Lo Mein was but noticed it was
cheap so I ordered a huge tray of it. Most people didn't touch it at all and
the few who did. only took a few bites.

I put the stuff in the freezer as I didn't want to waste it but wound up
throwing it all out after I tasted it. It was pretty much flavorless.

Tamari is a raw soy sauce. It may or may not be GF. Don't just assume that
it is. The stuff labeled "soy sauce" is cooked. Most contains wheat but some
does not.

To get them the 'same' you have to have crappy Tamari

Â* Properly spiced lo mein is delicious . When we visit Memphis we'll
often stop in at the place I worked for lunch . For around 5 bucks you
get a foam container about 10" square with half lo mein (choice of beef
, chicken , pork , or shrimp) and the other half fried rice . And an egg
roll - made on premises . Good eats !

Hey dumb-ass, try it at a restaurant that knows what they're doing and not
sending a tub large enough to feed 50 people.

What makes a hydrolyzed soy sauce bad? Nothing except that people think that it is. Some people that never tasted Aloha said it was a bad thing and other people who never tasted it believed them. If it was a bad shoyu, I wouldn't use the stuff.

My guess is that soy sauce is an unimportant condiment in your life. We're experts on soy sauce. I see no reason to put my faith on clueless amateurs.

Yes, you would. You'll eat anything, because you never know when the
Big Hawaiian Famine comes! During a famine, I'd use Aloha shoyu too.
Fortunately though, we have a choice in the US and Australia.

In other words, you don't know why Aloha shoyu is "bad." It's probably a good idea to ignore people that don't know enough about a table condiment to render an informed decision.

The people on this rock love the stuff because we like to pour it on rice. We get to actually taste the shoyu on a neutral medium. It's a very smooth and not too salty, umami sensation. Tasting shoyu on rice like that is a good way to sample soy sauces. OTOH, the last few times in restaurants, we've noticed that the shoyu seems watered down. It's a mystery.

Aloha shoyu is terrible and I have tasted it. It's incredibly weak and
wierdly sweet. The reason it doesn't sell outside Hawaii, is no one
likes it. The few who do, can add water and sugar to normal soy sauce
to get the same effect. Sorry, but that one Hawaii thing is a bust.

We probably dig it because of the way we use it - on top of rice. Kikkoman or Yamasa might be a little too strong to use on rice.

I don't know about that but if it's not fermented, it can affect the

I don't think this had any meat or vegetables in it. It must have had a bit
of sauce because the noodles had a bit of color to them.

All the good soy sauces are "naturally fermented". Many brands
(including Aloha) are not naturally fermented.

Hey dumb-ass, try it at a restaurant that knows what they're doing and not
sending a tub large enough to feed 50 people.

The restaurant I ordered it from was delivery/takeout only. I ordered food
from them countless times and everything else I ordered was good. Just not
that. I got enough to feed 50 people because we had about 50 people at the
party. Everything else was eaten and if I had ordered a couple hundred more
crab wontons, those would have been eaten too. I ordered the party package,
additional teriyaki chicken sticks (not authentic I know but the kids loved
them) and the Lo Main. I also put out cut up raw fruits and veggies and made
some mac and cheese on the off chance that someone didn't like Asian good.
That actually was only eaten by me. Heh.

I had to set up a swinging soiree i.e., a funeral. Guessing how many people will be attending is a job not for the faint of heart. I ordered enough for 120 attendees. In the end, I think I hit the number right on the nose. Unfortunately, there was a tonnage of leftovers. We packed up and stuck it in the church's refrigerator for the service the next day. We had some chow mein but I didn't notice how much of that was left over. The only thing I regret not taking home is the potato macaroni salad. I could go for some right now!
