American Chinese cuisine
In American Chinese cuisine, the mein gon pieces are generally sprinkled into chicken chow mein, and then served together. Despite the informal English name referring to it as a noodle, it is not actually classified as a form of Chinese noodle.
It can also be crumbled and sprinkled onto American Chinese salad dishes, such as Chinese chicken salad, in a manner similar to croutons. Crunchy fried chow mein noodles are often served with duck sauce and Chinese hot mustard as an appetizer in American Chinese restaurants.

gollark: Sure.
gollark: Er... sure, but I'm going to bed soon and so will be unable to stop it until morning.
gollark: I require it, on pain of having demons rend apart the underpinnings of the universe to force you to pay for your crimes.
gollark: I mean, if they're just idling on discord, then presumably they can at least take the time to say "took this".
