16 Reviews of Vegetable Lo Mein

Has a great flavor - better than the restaurant! Can't wait to try it with other veggies and meats. The only change I made - we like drippy saucy lo mein, so I doubled the sauce and it was great!

This was great! I used sesame oil to stir fry the vegetables: bok choy (chopped leaves and stems), onion, garlic, red bell pepper, thinly sliced carrot and broccoli. Added the veggies to the pan in the order of longer to faster cooking (carrots first, red peppers last). I highly recommend the bok choy! I'd never cooked it before but was very pleased. The stems were like a mild celery and the leaves wilted like spinach but didn't get mushy. Based on other reviews I only used a heaping tablespoon of sugar. After I combined the lo mein noodles with the veggies and sauce I cooked them over low heat for 5 or 10 minutes so that the noodles really absorbed the flavor of the sauce. I added pre-cooked shrimp at the very end (1 minute before serving). Used Ty Ling oyster sauce and low-sodium soy sauce. (Also agree that the directions were hard to follow!)

This does have really great flavor but I found the recipe hard to follow. It read more as a narrative, rather than steps in a recipe. Also, the oil for stir-frying is not listed in the ingredients....I used peanut oil, which is, in my opinion, the oil of choice with a stir-fry of this type...not olive oil. The sauce was very nice. My husband loved this, I liked it too but it was a bit of a trial cooking it, due to the rambling instructions.

This was a great dish and was extremely easy to make. The longest part was waiting for the water to boil for the noodles. I added fresh bok choy, mushrooms, and a bag of frozen stir fry veggies. Very tasty! I will definately add this to the weekly meal plan.

I love this recipe! So easy to prepare and so versatile. I used beef stir-fried with broccoli, carrots, onion, peppers and water chestnuts. The sauce is delicious and perfectly glazes the veggies, noodles and meat. The only thing I added to this recipe was about a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes because we enjoy that hot flavor. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I am anxious to try it again and the next time use chicken.

I agree with the comment about the rambling instructions but I've made it about 6 times now and know exactly how I like it. It's a great recipe! My fiancé loves Chinese food however I'm not a huge fan, well we both love this dish. Plus I'm a vegetarian, so with a few veggies and some tofu this dish is perfect. The sauce flavors the tofu wonderfully. If you've been looking for a dish to try out tofu with this is the one! But make sure to buy firm or extra firm, you don't want the mushy stuff!

Authentic taste. Very good. I used frozen stir-fry vegetables along with fresh onion, green pepper, bean sprouts, and garlic. I didn't have oyster sauce, so I mixed some clam juice with soy sauce as a substitute. Can't wait to try again using oyster sauce and adding meat. Thanks for the recipe.

Kickin' good sauce! I doubled the sauce, but halved the sugar, and it produced a much better lo mein sauce than our favorite Chinese restaurant! We'll be making Chinese for dinner more often, now!

pretty good. I couldn't find oyster sauce for the life of me so I bought some hoisen sauce and used the same amount of that. Wonderful effect. Maybe next time I'll try doubling the sauce as well.
