 Dan mien = Chinese egg noodles Long wheat noodles are made with eggs, which adds flavor, color, body and are the most similar to Italian and American noodles. They are available as a round noodle in various thicknesses and can also be fond as a flattened noodle in various widths and are usually a pale light yellow but can also be dark orange in color, and are sold fresh or dried. . They're often used to make chow mein (in which the cooked noodles are formed into a pancake and fried on both sides) and lo mein (in which the noodles are stir-fried along with the other ingredients). Chow mein noodles are usually cut a bit thinner than lo mein noodles, but the two can be used interchangeably. They should be cooked similar to Italian egg noodles. Don't confuse these with fried chow mein noodles, which are used in Americanized Chinese dishes, particularly Chinese chicken salad.
