Overall a good recipe but we felt the sauce was lacking a little something. I added a bunch of veggies and still had a lot of sauce leftover. Will make again but maybe add red pepper flakes.

One word sums up this recipe: SUPERB!!! One of the best recipes out there and definitely my favorite even though it does not have that restaurant flavor. Everyone that tried this licked their plate clean! The most noticeable aspect in this dish is the strong and pleasing ginger flavor. I followed the recipe 100% but omitted the shitake since I didn't have any and added 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to give it a tad bit of extra flavor and 1 dry chili with the seeds for that extra kick. The next few times I've made this recipe I've added frozen vegetable mix and the taste remained just as good. Just as a FYI: The best and most flavorful Lo Mein I've had was at PF Changs since I've been very disappointed with most of the Lo Mein dishes at most other restaurants due to the bland and greasy taste as well as substandard ingredients. So far, this Lo Mein sauce is superb and only leaves a desire to replace the noodles similar to what PF Changs has in their Lo Mein; and then this recipe would be a run away hit. I only wish someone would post a PF Changs recipe for chicken Lo Mein out there with info on their noodles too. Cheers and enjoy this great dish!

Was easy. Tasted good but not like the lo mein at a restaurant. The ginger overpowered everything else.

We thought this was really good. I made minimal changes because 1. it was what i had on hand. and 2. it was made for my 6 year old who wants nothing to do with mushrooms. I followed the directions except I had to use ginger from my cupboard because I read the ingredients incorrectly and did not purchase fresh, and added fresh broccoli and carrots vs green onions and mushrooms. We also had to use Fettucine noodles because I thought it was linguini lurking in my cupboard, but it wasnt :) My picky 6 year old had 2 bowls and my 2 year old ate her bowl as well and told me "momma, this is good" Thanks for sharing!

This doesn't taste like lo mein. It reminds me of pad thai because of the ginger. Recommend using less ginger unless a thai flavor is what you want.

So delicious! I also left out the water and used lo mein noodles from the Asian market, but I kept everything else the same. Great recipe.

Yum, we've made it twice now, once following the recipe time and have had great results! We even screwed it up by using "rice sticks" noodles instead of linguine which were difficult to get sauteed/fried. Dumping everything together in an attempt to soften them with a LOT of stirring worked well. Supper was a success! Next time we'll try adding carrots and snow peas. Yum! Thanks Meesh!
