FAQ
The biggest difference between these two dishes is that chow mein is made with thin egg noodles and ho fun is made with wide flat rice noodles. These noodle dishes also have different sauces.
Hor fun is the most consumed rice noodle in Guangdong China and Southeast Asia. If unavailable, feel free to substitute with the Vietnamese flat and wide noodles used to make pho.
Hofan is basically a Chinese stir-fried flat rice noodle dish. What makes it distinct is the use of thick, flat noodles—usually around 3/4 to 1” thick. The noodles are chewy and absorb flavours really well.
Hor fun noodles are flat rice noodles made with the same ingredients as kway teow, with hor fun being the thicker and broader noodle of the two. This makes the thick, chewy silkiness of hor fun simply perfect for dishes with ample gravy that are cooked over high heat for the sought-after wok hei.
Depending on how they are made and what's in them, both dishes can be made healthier or less healthy. That said, Lo Mein usually has more vegetables than Chow Fun, which usually has more oil and sodium.
