…from the Perspectives’ Kitchen![]() How you doin’? My Lo Mein noodles were created from a China Rose recipe based on New World Restaurant in Hong Kong. The term lo mein comes from the Cantonese lou min (撈麵), meaning "stir-fried noodles." In China, it is made of thin flour-and-egg noodles which are notable for their elastic texture. In American Chinese restaurants, Lo Mein is a popular take-out food and is sometimes considered synonymous with chow mein. The dish is distinct from both Cantonese lo mein and Cantonese crispy chow mein. Cantonese lo mein is stirred with a thin sauce and items such as wontons or beef added on top. In contrast, U.S. lo mein noodles are usually stir-fried with a sauce made from soy sauce and other seasonings. Vegetables such as bok choy and cabbage can be mixed in and meats like roast pork, beef or chicken are often added. Shrimp lo mein, lobster lo mein, vegetable lo mein, and "house" lo mein (more than one meat) are sometimes available.
