When I was still living in New York, whenever I got Chinese food, I'd get either beef lo mein or beef and broccoli.

Friends would often get sesame chicken, and normally I'm more of a chicken girl than a beef girl - I'm picky about my beef - but when it comes to Chinese food, it's always beef for me.

In fact, I'm pretty sure beef lo mein was what I ordered on my first trip back after moving to Israel.

So, like so many things I missed from living in the States, I decided to start making it myself.

How to replace lo mein noodles

If you don't have lo mein noodles, you can easily use spaghetti instead.

The main difference between lo mein noodles and spaghetti noodles is that lo mein noodles are egg noodles.

However, you really won't taste much of a difference under flavorful sauce.

What is the difference between lo mein and chow mein?

Lo mein uses soft, fully-cooked noodles that are stirred into the dish, while chow mein uses crispy, fried noodles.

HOW TO STORE MEAT

Once cooled, place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Store for 3 to 4 days.

HOW TO FREEZE MEAT

Freeze leftovers within 3-4 days. Place in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag.

Freeze for up to 6 months. After that, it is still safe to eat but the quality begins to degrade.
