Noodles is basically a type of food that is made from dough, while chow-mein is a dish made with noodles. Actually, chow mein is coined from two words 'chow' which means fried, and 'mein' refers to noodles. So the moral of the story is all chow mein are noodles, but all noodles are not chow mein.
The two most common Chinese wheat noodles are lo mein and chow mein. Both are made from wheat flour and egg, and they're cylindrically shaped, like spaghetti, but a bit thicker, closer to 1/4 of an inch.
Chow mein is the English derivative of the word chau meing and comes from the Taishan dialect of Chinese. Chau means stir-fried and meing means noodles. The noodles are usually parboiled and then finished off in a hot wok, where they're combined with aromatics, protein, and crunchy vegetables.
The history of chow mein is rooted in China's Guangdong Province. The dish, Chaomian, was brought to the United States by Chinese immigrants during the Gold Rush and eventually became known as chow mein (炒麺).
