Really great dish. I used about a half teaspoon of curry paste instead of powder and omitted the green onions. Will make it again, for sure!

We really enjoyed this! The only changes we'd make would be to try to push the sauce away from sweet and more toward savory - lessen the hoisin and/or eliminate the honey and use more sesame oil in the sauteing and soy sauce in the sauce. Overall, though, very yummy.

This was easy to assemble, and the family enjoyed it. It took a little over 45 minutes to cook down, so this is not the fast recipe it appeared to be. It also was a bit salty for my taste. Next time, I think I'll try low sodium soy sauce.

Honestly I wasn't expecting much out of this since I was wary about the hoisin sauce...but I thought the end product was pretty tasty! It's sweet and spicy. Used barely any honey (maybe 1 tsp), added a pinch of pepper flakes, added chili sauce & sriracha, and omitted curry powder. Obviously this is named Vegetable lo mein, but I added poached chicken in chicken broth to the dish and after poaching the chicken, I used the broth in the lo mein. Adds good flavor and protein to this dish.

i use recipes as a guide and motivation, and adapting to what i have at hand. this one, i used spinach fettucine, fire roasted frozen veggies from costco, fresh white onion, fresh green peppers, fresh garlic. only 1 tsp of honey, lite soy sauce. didnt add the hoisin as my kids like it spicy (but will try later for adults). the sauce is so flavorful! actually, i added some tbs. of the starchy boiling water to incorporate everything. love it! angchick, you did great, thanks!!!!

Absolutely loved this lo mein! I only made two slight changes. Didn't realize that I had run out of hoison sauce, so subbed oyster sauce. Delicious! I also added an additional 1/2 cup of green bell pepper for more color and nutrition. Sliced up a leftover grilled pork steak for lunch as Pork Lo Mein today. Thanks for this keeper, ANGCHICK!

This was okay, but not exactly the taste our family prefers in a Lo Mein. I reduced the amount of honey by half and still felt it was too sweet for our tastes. It is definitely still worthy of having as leftovers, though, which is always a good indicator of a good recipe for us! Thanks for sharing this recipe, ANGCHICK!

We really enjoyed this. I used linguine instead of spaghetti since that is what I had on hand. I left out the mushrooms as my husband doesn't care for them and the bean sprouts because I didn't have any. I also added some chopped cabbage. It was delicious although almost too sweet. I will definitely cut down on the amount of honey next time. I used black pepper instead of cayenne as we don't care for things that are hot. I served this with vegetarian egg rolls. A delicious meal although I thought it made a lot more than 4 servings even serving it as a main dish. The leftovers were still great however, so it didn't really matter.
