in american chinese restaurants, lo mein is a popular take-out food and is sometimes considered synonymous with chow mein. the dish is distinct from both cantonese lo mein and cantonese crispy chow mein. cantonese lo mein is stirred with a thin sauce and items such as wonton or beef brisket added on top. in contrast, u.s. lo mein noodles are usually stir-fried with a sauce made from soy sauce and other seasonings. vegetables such as bok choy and cabbage can be mixed in and meats like roast pork, beef or chicken are often added. shrimp lo mein, lobster lo mein, vegetable lo mein, and "house" lo mein (more than one meat) are sometimes available.
