Lo mein: Soft, thick egg noodles boiled and then tossed, not fried, with sauce, vegetables and a protein. Where chow mein is about crispness, lo mein is about slippery, sauce-coated noodles. On this menu as: Beef Lo Mein.
Mongolian beef: Thin-sliced beef flash-fried and tossed with scallions and sometimes onion in a glossy soy-and-brown-sugar sauce, often over crispy rice noodles. Taiwanese-American in origin; nothing to do with Mongolian cooking. On this menu as: Mongolian Beef.
Crab rangoon: Fried wonton purses filled with cream cheese and imitation crab, served with sweet-and-sour or duck sauce. A mid-century American tiki-restaurant invention that became a takeout fixture; there is no Rangoon connection. On this menu as: Crab Rangoons.
