If the dish is too dry, you can add more sauce or a bit of water. If it's too wet, you can add a bit of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken the sauce. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of noodles or vegetables to change the texture of the dish.

Question 8

How should I store leftover Chicken Lo Mein?

Accepted Answer

Store leftover Chicken Lo Mein in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can either use a microwave or heat it up on the stove with a bit of oil to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Question 9

When does Chicken Lo Mein expire?

Accepted Answer

Chicken Lo Mein, when unopened in a sealed container, can last for about 2 days in the fridge. However, the taste may start to change after the first day. Always check the 'Best Before' date on the package to be safe. Once opened, it should ideally be eaten immediately to maintain the best taste and texture. If it’s homemade Lo Mein, it usually lasts about 3 days in the fridge. If you've frozen your Lo Mein, it can keep for a couple of months but it's best consumed within the first month for optimal taste.

Question 10

How do you tell if Chicken Lo Mein is bad?

Accepted Answer

The surest way to tell if your Chicken Lo Mein has gone bad is by your sense of smell. Spoiled Lo Mein usually has a strong sour smell that may appear a bit like vinegar. You might also notice a change in the texture, with it becoming excessively slimy. Visually, if you see mold or anything else growing on the Lo Mein, discard the entire meal to be safe.

• Lastly, it's always safest to not leave Chicken Lo Mein out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
