Hi mein
Hi meins are an improved type of chow mein. They are created by kicking elemental sour sauces up a notch in The Wok of Ages. Transcendental Noodlecraft is required to access The Wok of Ages. The Way of Sauce is required to make the elemental sour sauces. You must be able to Pulverize equipment to get half of the ingredients for the elemental sour sauces.
There are several disadvantages to hi meins that offset their advantages. Access to The Malus of Forethought is only available to Muscle classes, while The Wok of Ages is only accessible to Mysticality classes. Therefore, characters in Hardcore will have to belong to a Mystical class to make and consume hi mein, and will have to wait until they've found and smashed equipment good enough to produce elemental nuggets without the Malus' special combining properties - usually level 9 or higher, although it's possible earlier with access to The Haunted Gallery in Spookyraven Manor.

Notes
- As of NS13, if you try to eat hi mein before Level 7, you will receive the message, "Your palate isn't sophisticated enough to eat food this good. (You must be at least level 7 to eat this item.)"
