“I made this last night and it sooooooo tasty. My husband just loved it. I can see that this would be so easy to fix with pork or beef. I used shrimp. The veg were outstanding. We finished up in one sitting even though I made the dinner for 4. Quick to mak” — a cook, 5.0★

“Lo Mein is a favorite of mine. I've had it a lot over the years, but this is the first time I've made it at home. Easy prep and comes together fast, this is as good as any restaurant Lo Mein I've had and better than most. Thanks, Mike.” — a cook, 5.0★
