About the Chow Mein

Chow mein means "stir-fried noodles" — 炒 (chǎo, stir-fried) and 麵 (miàn, noodles). The dish comes from Guangdong and was brought to America by Chinese immigrants from Taishan during the Gold Rush.

The words first appear in American English as "chow mien" in 1890 and in the modern spelling in 1903.
What American restaurants serve has drifted a long way from the original — onions, celery, carrots, cabbage and bean sprouts, either crispy fried noodles under a thick brown sauce or soft noodles tossed in soy.
