What is lo mein? How does this differ from Chowmein? Chow Mein comes from the word Chow (or Chao) meaning fried and the word Mein (or Mian) meaning noodles, specifically flour and egg noodles. So, Chow Mein is just fried noodles. Lo Mein is tossed noodles (where the noodles are not mixed with the rest of the stuff in the pan)
