If you want to cut down on the sodium a bit, you can use reduced sodium soy sauce, which is available pretty much anywhere nowadays. I love quick stir fry dishes like this since they come together so quickly and are very healthy. I used the equivalent weight of Asian style udon noodles in this recipe, and added a couple of spicy thai chiles and this was really good.

Hi there, Mike! The Test Kitchen says that those kinds of noodles are made by deep frying egg roll wrappers or wonton skins. :) Unfortunately, we do not have a recipe on how to make these.

I made this tonight really in the mood for Lo Mein Used fresh carrots celery broccoli snow peas green onions and water chestnuts For the meat used shredded chicken Rinsed the spaghetti after cooking to make it suitable for Lo Mein Added grated ginger and minced garlic to the oil and cooked before adding the soy sauce which was way too much next time will add TLBS and go from there Added twice the chicken broth and sugar to try to calm down the soy sauce then added a cup of the spaghetti water to cut it again It helped a lot but avoid adding what it calls for from the beginning I wonder if it is a typo You can always add more but you cant get it back out Pros Boosted my confidence and helped me to realize how easy it is to make Lo Mein at Home Cons…Read More way to much soy sauce Added garlic and ginger to get a more authentic taste

When I read the ingredients I said wow to myself when I got to the 1/2 cup soy sauce. Thanks for your comment, I am elderly, live alone and if I kept adding stuff to hide the strong taste, I would end out having way too much for one person.. Lots of leftovers!!!

@patnski 3664913, where do you see 1/2 cup of soy sauce, I read it twice and mine says 1/4 cup of soy sauce. They do make a lite soy sauce that has less sodium.

SO ... you added 4 teaspoons of sugar 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water to this recipe???? You had to wind up with sweet chicken flavored water for dinner These suggestions sound just awful 1/4 cup of soy sauce is not strong in this recipe at all.. this recipe already calls for fresh garlic.. now the addition of fresh grated ginger root is a good idea for those that like it. very mild this is a wonderful recipe for those that actually like Chinese food

My roommate does not like beef or pork, so I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which I don't particularly like. Also, I used regular lo mein noodles and added water chestnuts. Guess what - we both thought it was excellent!

Delicious! Easy and quick. I used broccoli instead of snow pea and about 1 lb fresh sliced mushrooms.

This was delicious! I used Tamari and substituted shrimp for the pork. Also, I just used the oil I had on hand, which was EVOO. I also used whole wheat pasta (12 oz.) and that was plenty of noodles. And I live in a small town and was unable to get snow peas so I just subsituted a bag of stir fry veggies. It had carrots, broccoli and green beans. Wow!! I don't usually comment on a recipe, but with all of my substitutions this was outstanding! Thx!
