Chow Mein is a classic Chinese dish made with wheat egg noodles, vegetables (such as cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, and onions), and optionally chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu, all stir-fried in a savory soy-based sauce. The dish originated in Northern China, with regional versions later evolving throughout Cantonese-speaking areas. “Chow Mein” literally means “fried noodles,” and the dish is typically pan-fried or tossed in a wok over high heat, giving the noodles a slightly crispy or chewy texture depending on style. It’s widely served as a main course or street food, both in China and Chinese-American cuisine. Common variations include crispy (Hong Kong style) or soft stir-fried (lo mein-style) versions.
