FOR JECCA: The missing ingredient is oyster sauce...took me awhile to figure it out, but after trial and error, I used abt 2 -3 tbs. and it did the trick. Made great restaurant lo mein, with a thick brown sauce just like you get in Chinese take out.

My entire family loved this dish, especially my 1 year old son. I added white onions, squash, and a snow peas veggie mix. After reading the other reviews I only added 1/2 cup of water and a bit more cornstarch and the sauce thickened just fine within 2 minutes. Instead of linguine, I used whole wheat thin spagetti and a mixed grain spagetti. I also added some shrimp with a little less chicken. The marinade was great, I'm going to try it next time I do a stir-fry.

Great base recipe. I had a few problems but only due to changes I made. I added extra veggies - zucchini and red pepper - and I used button mushrooms instead of shiitake. It was very good, but the sauce never thickened up. The extra veggies produce a lot of water so next time I would leave out the cup of water called for in the recipe. I also used grated ginger rather than fresh and it was fine. Good recipe - will definitely make again. The whole family liked it!

Pretty darn good! I skipped the mushrooms, and used ground ginger. I was pleasently surprised. Definitely give it a shot!

This was a wonderful and easy recipe to make. I have made this more than once and each time used different veggies. I like to use frozen-whatever I have in the freezer and reduce the amount of liquids. I also like to add chunks of white onion as this is our preference. Thanks!

What a great recipe! Turned out perfect! I adjusted a few things to personal preference (or what was available), such as - *Used flank steak instead of chicken (my friend is crazy about flank steak, but I really want to try it with chicken now also!). *Used peanut oil rather than sesame oil. *We used a thinner japanese noodle in the asian section (I think next time though I want an even thinner noodle). *I omitted the mushrooms, didn't sound like my personal taste. *I added a whole orange (for color) bell pepper and about an equal amount of white onion as well. Also probably about a cup or so of shredded cabbage (will probably add more next time). *Oh, I also added way more garlic than suggested (but I'm just a freak for garlic!). I realized after that some thin carrot strips and some water chestnuts would have been a great addition, also. I only made these adjustments because of personal tastes, and with the overall recipe intact, it was amazing! Must try!

Great recipe! I omitted the water since there was plenty of liquid from the rest of the ingredients, and I added snow pea pods, carrots, and broccoli. Instead of linguini I used actual lo mein noodles from the Asian food section of my grocery store. My entire family enjoyed this dish.

My husband, 4 kids and I really liked this recipe! The chicken was tender and very flavorful and the noodles had just enough sauce. The leftovers are good. A few alterations... I did not add the ginger (didn't have it), and I used canned mushrooms which I chopped finely so my kids wouldn't know they were in there, I also finely chopped a white onion instead of using the green. And just before serving I sprinkled the top with garlic salt and black pepper to taste. Very good. It isnt a quick recipe, but worth the effort. I served this with Fried Rice I, and some egg rolls to make a complete asian style meal. Yum!

Husband loved it, I liked it- but spicy foods appeal to me and this is not spicy. If you can get past the picture... try it.

My family loves this! We like veggies a lot so I add a little celery, a few carrots, extra mushrooms and sometimes some snow peas for crunch to this. Not really Lo Mien but it works for my family!

This is yummo! I didn't marinate the chicken as i had some left over from another meal but I pretty much kept the rest as is with exception of mushroom, I used cremini and button and used some baby corn too. I also had yakasobi noodles from Costco so I only had to heat them in the mixture. We really enjoyed this for dinner, we don't have this as a main course too often so it's fun for a change of pace.

I turned this recipe into shrimp lo mein by sub of chicken to shrimp I kept everything else close to the recipe with the exception of mushrooms, I omitted them and I added shredded cabbage, carrots and celery, I also used oyster sauce instead of sesame oil, taste more like the resturants when you use oyster sauce, sesame oil is great for fried rice dishes. This was really good. TIP*** I would suggest you up the veggies when making this recipe as written. Good recipe thanks Michelle!!!.

SOOOOO good! I actually made fried rice to go along with it instead of the noodles, but the recipe was right on the money, and so good. i wish there had been leftovers for me to eat the next day, but it was all gone!

I felt that the noodles were a little lacking in flavor. However my guests wanted the recipe and my fiance thought they were great. The only other problem with this recipe is that it is pretty labor intensive. There are a lot of steps so it is not something that can be made quickly.
