Ingredient info:
Lo mein noodles are made from wheat. These fine noodles cook more quickly than Italian style pasta. Look for lo mein noodles in the Asian food section of the grocery store.
Ingredient substitution:
Vermicelli can be used in place of the lo mein noodles.
Kitchen tip:
Use a citrus zester to grate lemon peel. Grate only the yellow portion of the peel; the white pith underneath the yellow zest tends to be bitter.
