I have made the dish multiple times after the first time,always changing it just a bit. Sometimes, I used pork loin, sometimes I used chicken breast. Every-time after the first time I just shredded head cabbage because it was a lost less expensive. Since my husband and I are always on a diet we sometimes doubled or even tripled the amount of cabbage which in my opinion did not change the flavor or texture of the lo mein at all

I've cooked all my life. I was taught by my mother who was an awesome cook. So I don't need lessons, but I've come to know that Bobby's recipes are really good. I made this last night for just my husband and me after wook. It was a nice weeknight meal. We both liked it a lot. I have no idea what Sambal is and haven't tried to find out yet, but I substituted fish sauce and it was quite tasty. We live in a rural area, but next time I'm at a big store I'll be looking for Sambal.

Sooo Goood! I'm not much of a cook, not so bad as to be on the show but not Bobby either!
My family including my kids LOVED this recipe. I get so annoyed when people tell you how they omitted this or added that, just follow the recipe! However, I didn't have shrimp so I used chicken, sorry. Otherwise I followed recipe as directed and it really was better than take-out. I know all the ingredients were fresh and nothing funky or artificial added.
This recipe will for sure be making its way into recipe rotation! I'd suggest trying it, it is delicious!

Great flavor and easy to put together. Used capellini for the noodles. Worked perfectly. Used sriracha because we love it.

I saw this recipe on Worst Cooks and decided to try it. I am so glad that I did! If you don't like spicy food, you may want to go a little easier on the sambal than what the recipe calls for. I like my food with a "tude", so it was perfect! I used pre-clean shrimp and it still tasted great.

I'm quite thankful there is an Asian supermarket about 10 miles away or it would have been difficult to find head-on shrimp and fresh lo mein. That said, the recipe was very tasty! There's a pretty good amount of prep work involved but once you have your mis en place ready, the cooking is quick. I was generous with the sambal oelek so my lo mein had quite a kick to it. I agree that squeezing that lime over the finished dish adds a perfect finishing touch.

I figured if the "Worst Cooks" could make it, I could, too! After trying in two stores I was still without Lo Mein noodles so I ended up buying whole wheat spaghetti ---we thought it was a pretty good substitute. And because I don't eat shrimp I used chicken cut into thin strips. To suit our taste, I went light on the ginger but heavy on the vinegar; it was very tasty and the spice level was perfect. Might try adding some water chestnuts next time. And there will be a next time! Hint: Don't skip the lime...it adds the perfect finishing flavor touch!
