“Added 1 chopped onion and extra celery. Left out mushrooms and oyster sauce. Stirred in cooked Ramen. Regarding the "bland" comment... I like spicey food more than most but to me traditional chow main should not be spicey. We thoroughly enjoyed this. Lots of c” — a cook, 5.0★
“Tried the recipe, made a few alterations. Left out the mushrooms but added broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, green beans and snap peas. It was delicious. Thank you for the recipe. This is a repeat for sure!” — a cook, 5.0★
