fried noodles

Wok-tossed wheat strands

Fried noodles are noodles cooked in oil or fat, typically stir-fried in a wok with vegetables, meat, or seafood.

The dish appears across Asian cuisines—Chinese chow mein, Cantonese lo mein, Thai pad thai, Indonesian mie goreng.

We ordered fried noodles with shrimp.

The noodles may be soft or crispy depending on preparation.
