There are many recipes that I have made before that you can replace and have a healthier homemade takeout like Sweet and Sour Chicken, and many others. But this Chicken Lo Mein we are making today is something different and I am sure you will like it.
What is Chicken Lo Mein?
Well, that’s an important question! Basically, Lo mein is a simplified traditional Chinese dish made with egg noodles. It contains all different vegetables and some type of seafood or meat, usually chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or wontons (Chinese dumpling). It can also be eaten with just vegetables.
Sauce Used in Lo Mein
We will use Soy sauce at the last when tossing the chicken and vegetables to get that slightly sweet and amazing flavor. Use sesame oil to cook the egg noddles so that the noodles did not stick together when the tossing of the ingredients will be done. Finally, hoisin sauce – is a thick, fragrant sauce commonly used in Chinese cuisine as a glaze for meat, an addition to stir-fries, or as a dipping sauce.
This Chicken Lo Mein recipe is very versatile! You can use any vegetables you have handy like mushrooms, peppers, broccoli or whatever is there in your fridge. Just throw them all together and every time you change the vegetables you will get a different flavor. This can be actually good because you will not get bored, and changing vegetables will keep the tongue taste.
For the chicken part, you can use grilled chicken or any chicken leftover you have. Or simply replace chicken with beef for an amazing beef lo mein, pork or seafood like shrimp.
What is the difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein?
The main difference between chow mein and lo mein is the methods used to make these stir-fry noodles are different. Both lo mein and chow mein use wheat-flour egg noodles. Lo mein noodles are boiled to softness and authentic chow mein noodles are fried to crispness. When it comes to nutrition value, both have pretty much the same, but the ingredients used when stir-frying decides the healthiness of both chow mein or lo mein dish.

Very good. I added more hoisin sauce ( 1/2 c instead of 1/4 c) and it turned out ok. I like that it’s easy to substitute different vegetables and meat. It’s a great weekday dinner for this working mom!
Delicious dinner! I followed some of the other suggestions for extra flavor. I marinated the chicken and added garlic, ginger and sesame oil for sauteeing. I also increased the hoisin sauce to 1/2 cup. Thank you for the recipe!
Thanks for trying out
What did you marinate the chicken in?
Thank you!
Actually I don’t marinate the chicken, I added the raw chicken directly to the skillet.. Please follow the instructions for detailed info.
Omg. I just made this and wow is it delicious, not quite Chinese lo main but non the less its so good and easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. Will definitely make again
I wish I read your comment before making it because I think that’s what it was missing some garlic and ginger.
Made as recipe specified, needs more seasoning, maybe garlic and ginger. Would also marinate chicken for more flavor.
Thanks for your suggestion, and yes marinating the chicken will surely enhance the flavor.
My husband, my son and I absolutely LOVED this recipe! It was easy to make, smelled great, and it was devoured at dinner. Thankfully I had made enough with some left over, which I planned to pack in my son’s lunch the next day, but that was foiled as he ate up every last bit after his hockey practice! This recipe will be a regular from now on in our household!
I am so happy that your whole family loved it!
Can I use onion, garlic and ginger too?
Yes of course! Add little oil to the pan and saute ginger, minced garlic, and chopped onion before adding the broccoli and bell pepper.
Hope this helps!
Just made this as veggie low main. I used carrots, green peppers, baby Bella mushrooms, sugar snap peas and red onions. Very good. I did sauté the veggies in canola and sesame oil with ground ginger and garlic for a little extra flavor. I will make again and try chicken or beef.
Thanks Linda for your comment
My whole family LOVED this recipe. We added sweet snap peas
Thanks for your sweet comment!
I can’t find lo mein noodles – I wonder if spaghetti noodles would be close enough???
I haven’t tried it with spaghetti noodles, but you can give it a try and let me know how it goes
I saw a chef on TV use spaghetti noodles for lo mein. It seemed to work for him. I’m going to try it tonight.
I made this for my family this evening and it was a hit! Soooo tasty, thank you for sharing
Thanks for your feedback Gemma!
Soooo tasty!!!!! Been looking for a recipe like this forever!! Thanks so much!!! My hubby and lil one said best ever!!!
I found it extremely difficult to add the chicken in with the vegetables. It was hard to make sure the chicken was cooked properly with the veg in there already. I would definitely suggest cooking the chicken in a separate pan. At the end it tasted fine but just kind of blah. Do you have any suggestions and how to add more flavor? My husband would like more heat but I don’t. What could I add to his half to add more heat in my have to add more flavor ?
OMG soooo good!!! We doubled everything and used edamame instead of snow peas since the store was out of snow peas. This will be added to our rotation. And I sent to friends to try!
Very easy and really good! I used Chinese 5-Spice on my raw chicken, plus more hoisin sauce and added ginger. Will definitely make again!
I used cut up rotisserie chicken. It worked well as I only had to sauté the vegetables/
Really good. I added onions,garlic, ginger and since I couldn’t find Lo mien noodles I used spaghetti noodles. Turned out great. I marinated and precooked the chicken.
I use Ramen noodles which aren’t as big as the lo mein or spaghetti noodles. I don’t use the little packet of seasoning in the lo mein, I boil the noodles in it.
