Keto Easy Lo Mein
Making Chinese food just got really, really simple. This easy low-carb lo mein recipe is the perfect Keto-friendly Chinese food made with low-carb shirataki noodles. These noodles have almost zero carbs! That means more for you to eat. Tossed with your lo mein noodles are sliced celery and cabbage. You can add more to your lo mein at your discretion, such as other vegetables, tofu, or a protein. No lo mein is complete without a thick and savory brown sauce. You’ll hardly want to share (if you have to) because it’s just that good. You won’t need to miss out on takeout food on the Keto diet!
I don’t own a wok
Although this recipe references a wok, don’t worry. You don’t need a wok to make your lo mein noodles. Just use a non-stick saute pan. The pan will need to have a somewhat tall edge to help keep moisture in the dish.
What type of shirataki noodles should I use?
You can use shirataki noodles that are packaged in water because these will be easier to separate and use without preparing them. Other types of shirataki noodles may need to be prepared before using them in this recipe. For lo mein noodles, choose long and thin noodles. Even a ramen-style of noodle will work.
Storage tips for leftovers
Storing your leftover lo mein is really easy. Keep cooled leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can even use this recipe for meal prepping as a side dish or part of a larger main course.

20 min
Step 1
Make the lo mein sauce by whisking together the beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, tapioca flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and chopped green onions. Leave the sauce aside while you prepare the next ingredients. Next, you’ll need to thinly slice fresh celery and cabbage.Step 2
Heat a wok at high heat on your stove. Add the second amount of sesame oil to the hot wok. Then, add the sliced veggies to the hot oil. Cook the vegetables down until the cabbage are translucent and the celery is very soft.Step 3
If the vegetables start to brown, add ¼ cup of water to the hot wok as needed until the vegetables cook down properly. Drain your package of shirataki noodles and add the proper amount to your hot wok. Gently unravel the noodles with a spoon while they start to fry in the hot pan with the celery and cabbage.Step 4
Once the noodles are a golden brown all over, pour all the sauce you made in Step 1 into the wok. Let the sauce bubble, thicken, and reduce until it’s thick and sticking to your noodles. This may take a few minutes, then the lo mein is ready to eat.
