This recipe was inspired by Build Your Bite's recipe for homemade stir fry sauce.
Good and simple, but way too much sauce IMO, I'd half the sauce next time and slowly pour it in to see if in needed more or less. I added a little red pepper flakes to kick it up a bit, some red onion extra garlic and ginger. overall really good!
Thanks
This was good. I added hamburger for protein though I think chicken would be better. I think there was a bit too much xanthan gum, it got a bit gooey. Will cut that in half next time. Good flavor, though. Will make it again!
Hi, is the carbs in this recipe net carbs? It's a little confusing since it's just labeled carbs, would love some clarification if possible! Thanks!
Hi there. This was a quick and simple recipe. I added carrots and shrimp. Thanks!
Thanks, I'm glad you loved the recipe!
How can there be 4.2g Carbohydrates with 14g of fiber?
I ran it through my calculator and it showed 8.1 carbs, 2.4 fiber = 5.7 net carbs
Hi Kris,
For my recipe cards, I put in the ingredients and use an app called WPRM. I rely on that data to calculate carbs. Sometimes, different calculators show varying amounts. I am, however, grateful for the feedback and glad you stopped by to check out the recipes here at Low Carb Quick.
Happy Cooking,

This was not good at all. The sauce made the noodles gummy-ish, and tasted nothing like lo mein.
Hi Jess,
I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy the lo mein zucchini zoodles. Maybe omit the sauce and only add a little next time if that suits your preference. Another option is just add some butter and your favorite seasoning if you prefer a lighter dish. Thanks so much for stopping by and giving it a try!
