FAQ

Lo Mein noodles are fresh yellow noodles (usually labelled egg noodles) that are about 3mm / 1/8 thick, sold in the fridge section of grocery stores. Dried noodles - use 200g/8oz uncooked ramen noodles or other dried noodles.
Both kinds of noodles are made with flour, water, eggs, and kansui (which is what makes the noodles yellow and chewy). They differ mostly in hydration and shape. Lo mein noodles have a higher hydration and are thicker which makes them chewier and more plush.
Worst: Lo Mein. This mound of noodles has about half the carbohydrates you need all day. The noodles are made from white flour, which raises your blood sugar faster than fiber-rich whole grains. Plus, they're cooked with oil and soy sauce, so you get extra fat and sodium. Can't pass it up?
The Chinese word mein means noodles, so both chow mein and low mein are noodle dishes. Chow mein translates to “fried noodles” in English and lo mein translates to “stirred or tossed noodles”. Chefs soften chow mein noodles in hot water before adding them to a wok with oil and the other ingredients they're stir-frying.
Types of Lo Mein Noodles. Despite their differences, chow mein and lo mein dishes are both made with Chinese egg noodles, which are wheat flour noodles with egg added. While lo mein requires fresh egg noodles, chow mein can be made with either fresh or dried egg noodles.
