What does LOMEIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Chinese dish of wheat-flour noodles stir-fried or tossed with meat and vegetables.
Lomein takes its name from Chinese words for tossed noodles, and the dish is built around soft wheat noodles combined with a sauce, plus whatever meat and vegetables the cook adds. It is a staple on Chinese takeout menus across many countries, and while everyday writing usually splits the name into two words, lo mein, this entry uses the single-word spelling that also appears in reference lists. The dish is defined by its noodles and sauce rather than by any single fixed set of ingredients.
