Veggie Lo mein

Veggie Lo mein is one of my favorite dishes to get in Chinese restaurants, but with prices of food going up it getting harder to eat out.

So to enjoy my favorite dish as much as I want I had to create this recipe at home, the tender vegetables mixed with the chewy noodles and tossed in the sauce make a perfect combination.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LO MEI AND CHOW MEIN

If you ever wonder what the difference between the are let me explain in the easiest way possible.

Chow mein noodle texture tends to be smaller and crunchier with a light delicate sauce and noodles are fried more in the wok.

Lo mein noodle texture tend to be softer and chewier tossed with a saucier sauce the coat the noodles well.
