Question 1

What is the difference between lo mein and chow mein?

Accepted Answer

The main difference lies in the preparation: lo mein noodles are boiled and then tossed with sauce, resulting in a softer, chewier texture. Chow mein noodles are typically stir-fried until crispy. Both are delicious, but they offer distinct textures for your stir-fry dishes.
