Chicken Lo Mein is a dish originating from Chinese cuisine that has become popular in several Latin American countries, adapting to local ingredients and tastes. Traditionally, Lo Mein was made with fried wheat noodles and assorted vegetables, accompanied by a protein such as chicken, pork, or shrimp. In some Latin American countries, this recipe is also simply known as "stir-fried noodles" or "noodles with chicken," although the original variant retains the name Lo Mein to highlight its Asian heritage.
The word "Lo Mein" comes from Cantonese and literally means "mixed noodles," which perfectly describes the technique of mixing the noodles with vegetables and meat in a wok. This recipe has traveled and evolved, becoming part of the offerings in homes and restaurants that seek to provide oriental flavors with a homemade and accessible touch.
