Footnotes

  • Hoisin sauce, also called Peking sauce, is a thick, reddish-brown sauce that is sweet and spicy, and widely used in Chinese cooking. It's a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers and various spices. It can be found in Asian markets and many large supermarkets. Look in the Asian or ethnic section. If this item is not in stock at your local store, ask your grocer to special order it for you. Most grocers will be happy to do this for their customers.

excellent. used recipie as more of a guideline and used lo mein noodles. i used sesame oil,onion,garlic,cornstarch,beef broth,1/2 the honey,soy sauce,candied ginger, red pepper flakes and broccoli. i was impressed and my husband finished off most of it himself! i will definitly make it again. not like resturant lo mein more like those asian packets for stir-fry, sweet and sour...

It was WAY too sweet. Not at all like real Lo Mein. WIll definately NOT be making this again!!

Try adding crisp fresh snap peas at the end of the cooking time. Wonderful! I used Swansons Vegetable Broth instead of chicken broth and, as others suggested, omitted the honey. Simple steamed broccoli works very well as a side dish. Next time I will add more onion. I suggest that the onion be sliced, rather than chopped, for more visual interest.

i liked this dish alot. the only thing though i minimized the amount of hoisin sauce to a tablespoon and a half and i didn't add honey. i also added about over a pound of shrimp. my dad and husband liked it. overall there were no leftovers so it passed inspection.

I found that the cayenne pepper sort of overwhelmed the recipe. I will make again but will either omit the cayenne pepper altogether or will reduce it dramatically.

This was a yummy recipe! I added peas, snap peas and water chesnuts to the veggies. I also reduced the amount of honey in half of what the recipe called for.

This is a great recipe. I changed a few things (I always do) and it turned out great. I was considering ordering Chinese but tried this out instead. No need to order lo mein again!! This will be a great recipe to use with leftovers (chicken, pork, beef, veggies....)

This was the most excellent recipe for Vegetable Lo Mein ever! My husband told his friends about it and I had several requests to make it for them as well as for the recipe. I gave it to a close friend of mine who raved about it the next day! FIVE STARS.
