I think Lo-Mein comes from Fujian province. I had that regularly when
I was a kid in Malaysia. Very delicious, but I have never found it in
the Western countries.

I didn't come across Chow-mein until I came over to UK. The word is
derived from Cantonese. It just means stir-fried noodles.

There are 101 ways how noodles can be stir-fried, and not just the
Western Chinese take-away style.

I think the starting point is to discuss what the noodles are made of.
As far I am away, they can be made of

wheat (I think, but not sure)
rice (ho fan, lau shi fan varieties)
and more rarely tapioca (hong shu) - which is deliciuos

A vastly interesting topic by itself.

travelling back then each noodle has a story..usually about the
emperor or some story between husband and wife

Come to New York, where lo mein is as common as pizza!

It's common along with stir-fry rice in our Chinese Buck-A-Scoop hole-
in-the-wall diners around town. The Buck is now inflated with an
additional thirty cents since they first appeared 5 years ago. You
want plenty of cheap stir-fry its the only place to go. I wished one
was close by.

In any even halfway decent Chinese Restaurant in the United States, Lo
Mein is a staple of the menu.

Actually this IS a lame blog and has nothing to do with tea.
However, if you want to read about Chinese noodles and Chinese food in
general, one of our own teaheads has a great blog - (Soupnoodles)
www.soupnoodles.com and he is a tea junkie.

Opp... thanks for pointing out.

In the Fujian style in Malaysia, we tend to add vnegar to the noodle
to make it taste good.

As an aside, noodles are eaten more by "Northerners" as their "main
food" instead of rice; as said by Southerners. Fujian does have their
special noodle variety from Sha Xian, but as with the rest of the
"Southern people", they prefer to eat rice with their meals instead of
noodles.

I think you might be slightly confused there.

When a northerner says mian, it refers mainly to jiaozi (northern
style dumpling), not noodle.

When my father in law came to visit in UK and I cook him noodles, he
absolutely hated it. He wanted northern style rice, which
unfortunately is unavailable in the UK.

I still haven't come across a northern style dish that I can swear to,
with the exception of jiaozi.

Sorry, you are wrong. It's a fact that most Northern Chinese eat
noodles to accompany their food instead of rice. In the Western
provinces, rice is served after meals as a filler in case you are not
full. It is only in the Southern provinces that rice is the staple
food and is served with dinner.

Depends on which North you are talking about. Some people say Henan
is North and some of their popular dishes there are cold noodles with
cumin and a whole variety of different "bing" (cakes..just like tea
cake); they also prefer thinly sliced beef dipped into vinegar and
garlic. Shandong people (some consider it "North" but I'm not sure
why) like sour and salty. In the far North, a popular dish is tofu
skin rolled around spring onions and dipped in a sauce made from egg
and some perserved beans with lots of salt.

In Beijing, (bei meaning North; jing meaning capital) there is the
most famous Beijing duck.

Dumplings are eaten all over China. The most delicious I have ever
eaten were made by some of my students and us together; they all hail
from Jiangxi.

I think you may be slightly confused by a conversation with one single
Chinese person that may or may not have even left his own province. I
live in China.

Any parts north of Yellow river is north. Although I will also
consider Henanese north.
They just act north.

There are two kinds of dumpling. The north is called jiaozi, the south
is called yuntun.

It really depends on what they like to eat. Some still eat a lot of
rice. Some eat mian, which can mean jiaozi, xiao long bao etc,
basically anything that is made from mian (which doesn't necessarily
mean noodle)..
