About Restaurant, Chinese, chicken chow mein

Chicken chow mein is the classic stir-fry of soft wheat noodles tossed with chicken, crunchy vegetables — cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, onion — and a light savory sauce. (It's distinct from the crispy fried chow mein noodles sold as a topping or snack; this is the saucy noodle dish itself.) The generous load of vegetables and the moisture from the sauce keep it surprisingly light by the spoonful.

At about 85 calories per 100 grams it's one of the gentlest entrées on the menu, with close to 7 grams of protein, under 3 grams of fat, and roughly 8 grams of carbohydrate from the noodles. Sodium is the main caveat at around 311 milligrams per 100 grams — modest for takeout, but it adds up across a full plate. There's a bit of fiber too, near 1 gram, from all those vegetables.

Because so much of its weight is vegetables and sauce, chow mein delivers a satisfying, filling plate without the calorie density of battered, deep-fried dishes. Loading up on the vegetable-heavy version and keeping portions of the noodles reasonable makes it one of the smarter takeout orders.
