Chicken Lo Mein

Rating: 8.5(Ballzy-The Cat’s Meow)

Fortune of the day- Someone in your life needs a letter from you.

Most would think that the Chicken Lo Mein would taste very similar to the Roast Pork Lo Mein and I am here to tell you that they do. Unlike most other poultry dishes that had the consistency of chicken skin, this chicken was chunky and hearty. It too was fabricated in the same manner as the previous Lo Mein with onions, cabbage, and celery. Everyone knows that it’s the noodles that make this dish so special but what’s the difference between Chow Mein and Lo Mein. Most would assume that they are two different types of noodles when in fact they are the same but prepared differently. Both are parboiled Chinese egg noodles but the Chow Mein gets an extra stop at the frying pan giving it a crispier texture. If we understood the vocabulary we would know that because Lo Mein means “tossed noodles” while Chow Mein means “fried noodles.” I personally prefer the tossed noodles because it allows the flavors to soak in giving it a broader taste. Even though it looks like a can of Night Crawlers, this wormy dish “shore” brings the fishes, obtaining a whopping 8.5 on the Jaxon Scale!
