Lo Bak - See Chinese White Radish
Lo Mein - In this dish, boiled and drained noodles are added to the other ingredients and stir-fried briefly during the final stages of cooking. This gives the noodles more flavor than is the case with chow mein, where the meat and vegetables are served over noodles that have been cooked separately. Italian pastas such as fettucine work well in lo mein recipes.
Lop Cheong - See Chinese sausages.
