Chow mein (Simplified Chinese: 炒面; Traditional Chinese: 炒麪/炒麵; pinyin: chǎomiàn; literally "stir-fried noodles") is an American Chinese stir-fried dish consisting of noodles, meat, and cabbage and other vegetables. The name may be derived from "chou" the French word for cabbage. It is often served as a specific dish at westernized Chinese restaurants with soy sauce and vegetables such as celery, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. Crunchy chow mein is a type of fried or baked chow mein sprinked on American Chinese salad dishes, such as Chinese chicken salad, in a manner similar to croutons.

Noodles do not have to be stir fried. They can be boiled. And there are rice noodles that taste different from wheat noodles.

Chow mein (Simplified Chinese: 炒面; Traditional Chinese: 炒麪/炒麵; pinyin: chǎomiàn; literally "stir-fried noodles") is an American Chinese stir-fried dish consisting of noodles, meat, and cabbage and other vegetables. The name may be derived from "chou" the French word for cabbage.

Crunchy chow mein is a type of fried or baked chow mein sprinked on American Chinese salad dishes, such as Chinese chicken salad, in a manner similar to croutons.

Canadian westernized Chinese restaurants may offer up to three different types of chow mein, none of which are identical to American chow mein. Cantonese style chow mein contains deep-fried crunchy golden egg noodles, green peppers, pea pods, bok choy, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, shrimp, Chinese pork (Char siu), chicken, and beef, and is served in a thick sauce. It is the typical marquee dish in a Canadian Chinese meal. Plain chow mein is similar to American chow mein but contains far more mung bean sprouts; some recipes may be up to one-half bean sprouts. Hong Kong style chow mein is similar to plain chow mein but is always served on a bed of deep-fried crunchy golden egg noodles.

In Chinese-speaking areas, 'chow mein' is a generic term for a dish of stir-fried noodles, of which there are hundreds if not thousands of varieties.

noodle is a thin strip of pasta, usually cut or extruded from some kind of dough. It is the basic unit in dishes like spaghetti, linguine, soba, and udon. The term often refers to moist, cooked pasta, since it has connotations of curviness and slipperiness, but also to dried noodles that must be reconstituted by boiling or soaking in water. The word noodle derives from Latin nodus (knot), via German Nudel (noodle, pasta).
