Lo Mein Noodles

“From Phoenix, Arizona, Kay Bergeron reports, 'One of the things my husband and I share is a love of Oriental food. At the end of the week, I go through the fridge, looking for leftover vegetables and meats to use in my 'leftovers chow mein'. If I have leftover spaghetti noodles, I use them to make these stir-fried noodles. Otherwise, I just cook up a fresh pot.”

Did not like the flavor of the Chinese 5 spice at all!

This lo mein tastes like the real thing! It must be the five spice that gives it such authentic flavor. I cleaned out the fridge and added more veggies like carrots and peppers. Delicious!!!!!

This got mixed reviews at my house. Four of us here. My son and I thought it was "ok", wife strongly disliked it (ate PB&J instead) and my daughter LOVED it. My wife didnt like the anise I think. I agree with Tiffany, it is a "different" type of flavor. But mine was not dry. This is unique in flavor. Almost reminds me of jamaican with the nutmeg/cinnamon twist.

this was very dry and had a strange flavor to it. my dh did not care for the anise in the 5 spice powder. I think next time I will find a teryaki garlic sauce.

This made a great meal. I have made it three times so far. I didn't have the spice listed in this recipe, made it with ginger instead. It came out great. I also added slivered almonds and sunflower seeds for extra crunch. Thank you for a great and simple recipe.

I didn't have everything, but it was good anyway. I need to get 5-spice powder and try it again.

This is a great basic recipe. I marinated some pork in Char Siu and diced it up. I used celery instead of peas because I like a little crunch and added garlic. I only used 6 oz. of Chinese stir fry noodles, as I wanted more of a veggie dish than a pasta dish. Very tasty, Kay. Thank you for the post!

This is a pretty good basic recipe, especially if you're just looking to use up leftovers. I was hoping it would be more like real lo mein, which it wasn't, so I had to make a few changes: The amount of pasta called for in the recipe is double what I would have used, so next time I'll use only half the pasta. I added shrimp, broccoli, a clove of garlic and julienned carrots. For the sauce: I ended up having to double the sauce and double the amount of soy sauce and teriyaki sauce on top of that. If I make this again I'd cut the five spice down to only 1 tsp and add 1/2 tsp. ground ginger or some fresh ginger. As it was, it was okay, but it could have been better.

One of our favorties. Recipe is easy to make and easy to play with. I call this one of my kitchen sink recipes. I can change out the vegetable ingredience for what I have in my refrigerator and add meat for my husband who is a meat and potatoes guy.
