Jennifer Suster of Chicago, Illinois says, "This lo mein recipe is a low-calorie eye-appealing dish that is very quick to make." With soy sauce, sherry, ginger and sesame oil, as well as red pepper and snow peas, it's as flavorful as it is colorful.

Once everything was cut up this was quick to prepare. I cut in the morning and refrigerated until I was ready to stir-fry in the evening. Very tasty.

I found this recipe good & easy to make, but not quite as flavorful as I would like. Next time I make it I am going to increase the soy sauce & ginger and add some minced garlic. I also like my food a little spicier, so I added red pepper flakes.

I've been making this recipe since it was first published back probably 5 years ago at least. It QUICKLY turned into a family favorite! I do add a whole package of noodles, but use the protein boosted kind to make it a bit healthier. EVERYONE in our house loves this!

I was disappointed the first time I made this. Even with low-sodium soy sauce this was way too salty. Also the picture conveys a dish that is light in color. The soy sauce made everything very brown.

The second time I boiled and shredded a chicken breast, shredded it and marinated in Paul Newman low-cal Asian dressing, reduced the cornstarch and it was wonderful and much lower sodium content.

Really enjoyed this one, added water chestnuts, but everything else the same. A repeat in our house for sure!

We loved this recipe. We will probably add a bit more ginger and soy sauce next time but we thoroughly enjoyed it! Also, really good the next day for lunch! Makes a lot!!

Really good! We all liked this one - even my 18 month old and my super picky 4 year old. A great alternative to greasy take out!
