Question: are lo mein noodles egg noodles?
Answer: Both lo mein and chow mein are made with Chinese egg noodles—wheat flour noodles with egg added. Fresh egg noodles (preferably about 1/4-inch thick) are best for lo mein, while either fresh or dried can be used to make chow mein. ... A "quick and dirty" lo mein can be made by using Ramen noodles with a flavor packet.
