What is the Difference Between Lo Mein and Chow Mein?

Lo Mein is a traditional Cantonese dish, originated from Hong Kong. The words “Lo Mein” basically means mixed noodles: the noodles are boiled, drained and then stirred in with savory broth/sauce.

When you make Lo Mein, you don’t stir fry the noodles. You stir in the noodles with the sauce so that every strand of the noodles are rich in flavors, and every mouthful of the noodles is velvety, silky and smooth.

On the other hand, Chow Mein is stir-fried until crispy.

What Kind of Noodles to Use for Lo Mein

One of the most common questions I get from my readers are the accessibility of the basic ingredients, for example: noodles.

I am lucky that I live in California and there are many Chinese/Asian grocery stores where I can pick up just about anything, including freshly made noodles.

However, most of my readers have limited access to a good Asian store, so I am constantly researching and recommending a good brand of packaged noodles for them.

Search no more, as I have found McCormick Simply Asia Chinese Style Lo Mein Noodles that you can purchase from regular grocery stores!

They have other noodles as well, like udon, ramen and soba, too!
