“I've been searching for an easy and tasty chow mein recipe. After many failed attempts I found this one! Second time making it tonight and my only mistake was not doubling lol! I only use a tri color shredded cabbage pack and fresh green onions in the stirfry ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Great recipe! I added broccoli and omitted bean sprouts. I did cook the veggies much longer to get them tender. Pro tip: toast your sesame seeds, small nonstick pan sprayed w Pam or small bit of oil on med-high and just stir a bit until toasted-it elevates any” — a cook, 5.0★
