On a recent visit to a Chinese restaurant, I noticed chow mein on the menu. It’s a traditional Chinese dish that sometimes takes a back seat to lo mein. Both are noodle dishes. Chow mein noodles are crisp and served with a light sauce. Lo mein noodles are soft and part of a rich sauce. This is a quick and easy version of chow mein that you can make at home in about 15 minutes.
Chinese egg noodles are the typical noodles used for chow mein. They’re made with flour and added egg. If they are difficult to find, thin angel hair pasta works very well.
