History: Lo mein is a Chinese dish with wheat flour noodles. It often contains vegetables and some type of meat or seafood, usually beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or wontons. It can also be eaten with just vegetables. Traditionally this is a variation of wonton noodle soup. The soup is simply separated from the noodles and other ingredients and served on the side. A version sold in many places in western North America is sometimes labeled as Chow Mein. However, the two are prepared differently. Chow Mein is fried to varying degrees of crispness, while Lo Mein is kept soft.
