Have made this twice already. This recipe is great because the leftovers are even better the next day. I made some substitutions to the recipe to make it even healthier. First off I used the light asian dressing, secondly I used PB2; a powdered peanut butter. Last of all I left out the peanuts. It was still wonderful and a really easy recipe.

I didn't really like this meal. It didn't have enough flavor. It tasted more like a 'I'm on a diet dish'. My husband loves healthy tasting foods so he enjoyed more then me.

I had invited my in-laws and warned them that I was making a new dish. I have made so many lo mein recipes and this is by far the best recipe! Everyone raved over this and wanted the recipe-I will definitely be making this again!

This has become a regular meal for our family. I use fresh vegetables rather than frozen and sometimes throw in cabbage and baby corn.

I thought this recipe was decent. I am not sure if I would make again. It didn't have quite the chinese flavor I was looking for.
