I enjoyed this recipe but I did change it around a bit. I didn't use the water at all. I thought 1 cup of water and 1-1/4 cups of broth would have made this way to soupy. I stir-fried the chicken until most of the liquid was absorbed..this left it a golden brown color. I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I left that out and chopped up some broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage to use. I made the sauce (minus the water) and instead of using the full amount...I added a spoonful as I stir-fried my vegetables until I was pleased with the results. Instead of mixing this all together, I left the noodles seperate and also made a pot of rice. We added the amount we wanted to either the rice or noodles. This is nothing like the lo mein we get at our local chinese place, but this was still enjoyed nonetheless. Thanks Michelle.

I would agree it's not like I have had in a restaraunt. Maybe there should be less sauce. To cut the expense, I used dried shitake mushrooms (16 mushrooms soaked in warm water for 30 min)and 3 packages of ramen noodles. I also used 1 tbl of bottled minced ginger with garlic, it could have used more of this. Tasted really good.

If you enjoy Lo Mein, you will enjoy this. Next time I make it, however, I will use a little less ginger. It was a bit overpowering. The leftovers tasted even better cold the next day.

This wasn't anything great. NOTHING like lo mein in chinese restaurants. I love ginger, cut it in half according to suggestions and it was STILL too much. Takes a little too long to make for the outcome. I tried making it with a few changes (different veggies) and it still wasn't anything special. Thanks for the recipie though...

Iloved the flavor of this recipe . What I did not like was the linguine noodles. I will use this recipe again,but use chinese noodles instead. I did like the recipe quick fast and inexpensive.

I was expecting a result more like the lo mein at Chinese Restaurants. This was very good, but it was not the chinese restaurant lo mein that i was hoping for--mostly because it didn't have the "soy" color (the cornstarch changed the color), and the sauce didn't stick to the noodles. But i would still probably make it again sometime because it was "different" and very good.

Excellent! I used ramen noodles and added matchstick carrots, the whole family loved it. I reduced the ginger to half and it was perfect.

I really liked the recipe. I stir fried bok choy, snow peas, water chestnuts, and broccoli in addition to the mushrooms just to add to it. I decreased the ginger to 1 tbsp, but it really could have used a little more. I will definitely make this again!

I'm sorry to write a negative review but I was expecting this to be better than it was. I think it would have helped had I used asian style noodles rather than linguine. I thought this would compare to restaurant lo mein and it didn't. (Although my kids really liked it.) I agree with the reviewer who said there was too much ginger.

Wow, this is a really great recipe! The seasoning amounts seemed just right; the only change I made was to add 50% more linguine. My wife and I had dinner, leftovers, and still more for the freezer. Thanks Michelle!! --Rick

This recipe was great! We left out the mushrooms and substituted shrimp for the chicken. My husband's favorite chinese dish is lo mein and he has been looking for a recipe for the longest. We were both very pleased with this one although next time we will add less ginger and a little more cornstarch. Overall, a real winner!!
