Answers:
Chow mein is a mix of noodles, vegetables, meat and a salty sauce. It contains thin noodles in it and is served in Chinese restaurants. To use chopsticks, you place one chopstick between the tip of your thumb and your first finger. You place the next alongside it. Then fiddle around with it to try and pick up food on the plate. Start with simple things like carrot peices, chips etc. Then move on to rice and noodles.

Other Answers:
chow mein is the veggie/meat flavored noodle combination that the chineese resutrants use. it ahs noodles in it, but its not the same as plain chineese noodles. chopsitcks are just practice. you use them to pick up simple stuff. it would be easier for someone to show you how to use them then have someone describe how to use it on the internet
I'm going to give a completely american answer. When I hear chowmein noddles I think of it as the ones you buy at the grocery store they are a fried floury mixture. They are nice and crunchy. Good to snack on or put on top of stir fry.
"Chow" means "fried."
"Mein" means "noodles."
"Chowmein" literally means "fried noodles."

Chowmein can refer to the crunchy noodles that are served like crackers at Chinese restaurants because those are short noodles that are fried until crispy and it can also refer to a dish of noodles and vegetables that is stir-fried with spices and sauces for flavor.

Advice on using chopsticks:
Look for an internet page for pictures, but basically wedge the chopstick between the meaty part of the hand and your fourth finger. Hold the upper chopstick like a pencil. Only the upper chopstick moves. The lower one is always in the same position. Also, make sure that the chopsticks are even by pushing the tips down on the surface of your plate so that the ends line up. Also, though it may seem easier to hold chopsticks very close to the "business end" you actually do less work if you hold them on the far end away from the food (because of leverage . . . with a long length of chopstick, the finger move a little but the end of the chopstick moves a lot. With the hand choked down near the business end, the fingers have to move a lot to open the chopsticks . . . which can lead to finger cramps)
Chowmein is a saucy dish with meat, thinly sliced carrots, lettece, mushrooms, etc. in a creamy white saucy. (However, There is no dairy products in it.) It is not the same as noodles.

There are always deep fried noodles ON TOP of the dish, but the dish itself is not noodles. Then you would probably be confusing that with LoMein which is pan fried noodles.

Chopsticks?
