CLASSIC LO MEIN (NOODLES)



Classic Lo Mein (Noodles) image

I love this deceptively simple dish. If you have all the ingredients, you can have a plate of delicious noodles on the table within 15 to 20 minutes, with prep included. There really isn't such a thing as a "lo mein" noodle, so don't try to find it on the shelf. You want to buy an egg noodle or pasta that's relatively thin and has some tooth. Some common names will be lo mein, chow mein, egg noodles or pancit noodles. Most markets have Japanese yaki soba noodles in the cold case, and those would work perfectly. Spaghetti or fettuccini cooked al dente and rinsed in cold water and drained in a colander will also make a great lo mein. The traditional difference between lo mein and chow mein is that lo mein is a soft noodle with some gravy, and chow mein is a crispy fried noodle tossed with or smothered in sauce. This has become very convoluted over the 200 years Chinese food has existed in America, with regional evolutions. Another tip: Although sesame oil is a fat and you would assume it should be used to start the stir-fry, I want you to treat it like a sauce. Sesame oil has incredible aroma and flavor but burns at a low temp. Add it to a sauce instead and use a high-temp oil like canola or peanut for cooking.

ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH RICE NOODLES



Asian Meatballs With Rice Noodles image

Submitted for RSC #9. This whole recipe was a new experience for me...I was so happy it worked out! I made it as a last effort for the contest after 2 failed recipes. I knew what fresh Asian flavors I liked together so that is what inspired the meatballs. I was impressed with how flavorful they turned out! They did end up a little hot so feel free to cut down on the peppers. I loved the rice noodles so much that they will be come a regular quick meal in my home. I love the suggestions from reviewers to bake the meatballs. Why didn't I think of that? I do think the sesame oil is a very important flavor enhancer for the noodles. Thanks to everyone who tried this for the contest!

Valuable tips when making Asian meatballs with lo mein noodles recipes

Lo mein noodles with Asian meatballs recipes are a popular Chinese-style meal that is easy to make and incredibly delicious. Whether you're making this dish for the first time or you're a seasoned pro in the kitchen, there are a few valuable tips that you should keep in mind to ensure that your Asian meatball with lo mein noodles recipe comes out perfect every time.
1. Choose the right noodles
When making lo mein noodles with Asian meatballs, the type of noodles you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Look for fresh noodles that are soft and pliable, and have not been dried. This will ensure that the noodles cook up tender and flavorful, and not too dry or tough. If you can't find fresh lo mein noodles at your local grocery store, you can also use dried noodles, just make sure to cook them according to the package directions before adding them to your dish.
2. Mix your meatballs correctly
When making Asian meatballs, it's important to mix the ingredients together correctly to ensure that they hold their shape and stay moist during cooking. One of the best ways to do this is to mix the meat with a binder like cornstarch or breadcrumbs, as well as beaten egg, to keep it moist and give it structure. Additionally, season the meat well with salt and pepper, as well as any other spices or herbs you like, before forming the meatballs.
3. Use high-quality ground meat
The quality of the meat you use for your Asian meatballs can also make a big difference in the final flavor and texture of the dish. Look for high-quality ground meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken, that is 80-85% lean. This will provide enough fat to keep the meatballs moist and juicy, but not so much that they become greasy or heavy.
4. Preheat your pan before cooking
When cooking your Asian meatballs, it's important to preheat your pan before adding the meatballs. This will help ensure a nice sear on the outside of the meatballs, which will not only make them look more appetizing, but will also give them a delicious caramelized flavor.
5. Use a non-stick pan
When cooking Asian meatballs with lo mein noodles, using a non-stick pan can be a great way to ensure that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan and everything cooks evenly. This will also make it easier to flip the meatballs, as they will not stick to the bottom of the pan.
6. Sauce the meatballs just before serving
To ensure that your Asian meatballs stay moist and flavorful, it's important to sauce them just before serving. This will prevent them from becoming dry or tough, and will also help add additional flavor to the dish.
7. Toss the noodles in sauce before serving
Tossing your noodles in your sauce just before serving is a great way to ensure that they are evenly coated and flavorful. This will help ensure that every bite of the dish is packed with deliciousness, and will also prevent the noodles from becoming too dry or clumpy.
8. Garnish with fresh herbs and vegetables
Finally, garnishing your Asian meatballs and lo mein noodles with fresh herbs and vegetables like cilantro, green onions, and sliced red peppers can be a great way to add even more flavor and visual appeal to the dish. Not only will this make your dish look more appetizing, but it will also add additional nutrients and vitamins to the meal. In conclusion, making Asian meatballs with lo mein noodles is an easy, delicious, and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by everyone. By following these useful tips, you can ensure that your dish comes out perfectly every time, and that you and your family and friends will be satisfied and happy with the dish. So, get your apron on and start cooking!
