The chow mein dishes were some of the best foods in the Kingdom.  They all required a [[secret blend of herbs and spices]], [[dry noodles]], [[MSG]] and two other ingredients.  You needed [[Pastamastery]] to cook (or summon and then cook) the dry noodles and [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]] to use [[The Wok of Ages]] to create chow mein.

Generally, the tofu and pr0n chow meins were considered separate from the other chow meins, due to their lower fullness, lower stat boosts, and irregular recipes.

For a comparison of chow meins and other dry noodle dishes, refer to the recipe tables in [[Pastamastery]] and [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]].

==Notes==
*Requires [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]].
*Does not require [[Pastamastery]] to create chow mein from stir-fry.

==References==
*"Chow Mein" refers to "Stir-Fry Noodles" (炒面/炒麵) in Chinese, as well as dishes that contain them.

==History==
*On July 7th, 2015, all chow mein dishes were changed. Their ingredients became used to make items in the [[Pastamastery#Basic Pasta|basic pasta set]] and require only [[Pastamastery]] to be cooked. Meanwhile all existing cooked dishes were replaced with their simpler versions from that set.
*Chow meins were later functionally replaced with the [[Transcendental Noodlecraft#Scrumdiddlyumptious Noodles|scrumdiddlyumptious noodles set]], an alternative type of sauce dish which does not require wads like hi mein. These sauces use high level food drops instead of the wads.
** This may have been done to ensure that more [[scrumptious reagent]]s were used up in cooking than before, making a larger trade-off between high quality food and the number of [[Advanced Saucecrafting|saucecrafted potions]] used.
