The chow mein dishes are some of the best food in the game.  They all require a [[secret blend of herbs and spices]], [[dry noodles]], [[MSG]] and one or two other ingredients. You need [[Pastamastery]] to summon the dry noodles and [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]] to create chow mein.

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.
