About Chow mein noodle

A chow mein noodle is a noodle intended for chow mein-style dishes. The label identifies a broad food category rather than a particular recipe or manufacturing specification; ingredients, strand dimensions, and fresh or dried form may vary.

These noodles are used in noodle dishes and are commonly cooked before serving, including in stir-fried preparations. Their appearance is generally that of strands, while firmness, colour, and finished texture depend on the product and how it is prepared.
