This was a blend of multiple lo mein recipes I found. Add your favorite meat for a main dish, or make as a side dish to your favorite homemade chinese dinner. If you use meat, cook the meat in the pan first, and then pull out and set aside.

Lo Mein Noodles

(8 ounce) package spaghetti

soy sauce

teriyaki sauce

honey

ginger

vegetable oil

celery,

carrots,

½ sweet onion, thinly sliced

green onions, sliced

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Rinse spaghetti with cold water to cool; drain.


Whisk soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, and ground ginger together in a bowl.


Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook and stir celery, carrots, sweet onion, and green onion in the hot oil until slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes; add spaghetti and sauce mixture. Continue to cook, tossing to mix, until the noodles and sauce are hot, about 5 minutes more.


This is a great base recipe, but I felt the need to make some additions:  1/2 green bell pepper (cut into thin strips, added to my wok with the rest of the vegetables); 2 cloves of garlic, minced (added during the last minute of stir-frying the vegetables); about 1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil (tossed with the cooked and drained spaghetti--did not rinse with water); and 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I like it a little spicy).  I did not change the sauce recipe at all, there was no need to do so. I also chopped up some roasted peanuts for sprinkling (my sister's request).  I will make this recipe again and again and sometimes add a protein to the noodles to make it more hearty.  Thank you, SarBetEns, for this very good base recipe for a great lo mein dish.

Next time, I will start stir frying the carrots before adding the other vegetables.  They took longer to cook, and as a result, the other veggies overcooked.  I added grilled shrimp to make this an entree (used the marinade from Surf and Turf for Two from this site) and some red bell pepper slices to give it a little more color.  Was concerned that I may need to thicken the sauce, but that wasn't the case.  Enjoyed and will make again.

Delicious! When I was mixing up the sauce and tasted it, I wasn't sure, but after combining everything together, it was wonderful! I did use 1/2 sesame oil and 1/2 veg oil, b/c I love sesame oil. Oh, and I doubled the recipe, so there would be plenty for leftovers. This a so simple to make...a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

This was quick and easy, not to mention, delicious. I doubled the sauce like others suggested, other than the ginger, because I don't care for a strong ginger taste. I couldn't even taste it, so I could have used the extra ¼ tsp and been fine. My green onions were quite large so I added the whites along with the sauce and noodles, then saved the green parts to sprinkle on top of each serving, along with some slivered onions. Yum! UPDATE: We eat this pretty regularly, but I usually add extra veggies. It just depends what I have on hand; quartered and sliced zucchini, small broccoli florets, red peppers, just use whatever your family enjoys! I don't usually change the sauce because it's delicious as is, but once in awhile I'll add a tablespoon of lime juice. I also use ½ veg (canola) oil and ½ sesame oil when stir-frying, for a little more flavor. It's very versatile, but delicious as written!

These noodles were great! I didn't have any teriyaki so used a bit of balsamic instead. I baked some chicken in a mixture of the honey, balsamic and soy with ginger and then I cut it up and finished  it off in the pan and added to the noodles. I paired this recipe with the awesome egg roll recipe which I love. I agree when stir frying the veggies start with carrots as they take longer. Great recipe!

We all really loved these noodles, a perfect blend of flavors. I liked the subtle sweetness the honey added. I followed the recipe as written with the exception of also adding in a red sweet bell pepper with the other vegetables, and salt and white pepper while stir frying the vegetables. Easy enough and great side dish for any Asian main meal. I think any vegetable you have on hand would work with these noodles.

First, I never try anything on this website that has very few reviews. But, I took a risk, and it worked out. This is a solid recipe, and very simple. The sauce (consisting of teriyaki, soy, honey, &amp; ginger) could probably be used for any stir-fry or marinade. I ended up using it for the Lo Mein noodles. I added a little rice vinegar and sesame oil to taste (once everything was combined), due to personal preference.

Excellent! Quick and easy. I don't like celery and carrots, so instead used broccoli and shrimp along with the sweet onion. I had to make the sauce twice as one serving wasn't enough to cover the spaghetti and I didn't even use a whole pack of spaghetti, but even so, it was delicious. Maybe a tad too salty but that's my fault. I didn't have any low-sodium soy sauce on hand. Next time I make it, I'll also use mushrooms. Oh, and I used olive oil instead of vegetable.

I made this recipe and loved it!  I've never made lo mein at home before this.  I mostly followed the recipe other than the ginger, onions &amp; celery.  I didn't have these as I don't like them so I added broccoli &amp; fresh sweet corn and at the last minute some crab meat.  It was delicious!

I really like this simple recipe for lo mein. Do not feel you need to stick to the veggies listed here - add broccoli, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, sesame oil - anything you like in your Chinese noodles. I like using some red pepper flakes and extra garlic to give these a kick, as well as some shrimp or sliced chicken breast. These keep for leftovers quite well, I double the recipe and save some to take for lunches for work. Enjoy!

This is the best lo mein I've ever made. Great recipe for tweeking to your taste. I added pork and broccoli. This recipe is a keeper. Some other reviewers said there was not enough sauce. Personally, I feel it was just enough. Any more sauce and it would have been too saucy. Lo mein isn't typically "saucy" like some other Chinese dishes.

I made this recipe as directed with the addition of a shredded rotisserie chicken at the very end to make it more of a meal.  It was average.

I've made this twice and it's been a big hit in my young family!  Per a past reviews, I added a tablespoon of sesame oil to the noodles.  I also added a bag of coleslaw, doubled the sauce and added shrimp.  Great meal!

These were awesome!  My husband loved them.  You can add veggies as you wish to these noodles.  I didn't have any green onions the night I made these, so I tossed in three cloves of minced garlic to add flavor.  Delicious!

Really enjoyed this!  My only changes were to use brown sugar instead of honey (I was out) and to thrown in extra veggies (cabbage &amp; broccoli as I had some to use up).  I was also out of ground ginger, so I simply sautéed some fresh ginger with veggies.  Can't wait to make it with honey....

This is also fantastic with zucchini noodles for a low carb option. Just don't boil the noodles at all first - the stir frying softens them enough!

I added red bell peppers (they are in the recipe pic!) and mushrooms and chicken. Fantastic.

This was so yummy!  I used gluten free tamari sauce (as a soy sauce substitute) and added some fish sauce and hot Asian chili sauce as well, for extra flavor. I also used real grated ginger, rather than powdered. I added a few eggs at the end and sauteed them quickly to cook them (as an alternative to using meat). The resulting sauce was flavorful, as well as creamy and filling, thanks to the eggs.  It's a delicious and flexible recipe; I will definitely will make it again!

just made this recipe, Sept 26 2013 I love it!!! added diced chicken breast otherwise I made it as written very, very good

This is a great lo mein recipe!  I subbed cabbage for the celery, but otherwise followed the recipe.  Very, very well received at our house tonight,, from the 4 year old on up!  Thanks so much for sharing this keeper, SarBetEns!

I double the sauce and first cook a meat chicken, shrimp or steak add some of the sauce to meat. Also add pea pods and red peppers. Fresh ginger used. Substitute half of oil with sesame oil. Awesome!!

Loved it Sooo much we made it twice in three days!

I will never eat lo mein at a restaurant again...this is excellent.     I used sliced red peppers, sliced carrots, chopped celery and shredded cabbage. I sauteed the vegetables in sesame oil, red pepper flakes and garlic pepper.  I doubled the sauce recipe as suggested.I used low sodium teriyaki sauce and low sodium  soy sauce.   I added angel hair pasta and mixed everything together. While the vegetables were cooking I seasoned  3 pork loin chops with garlic pepper and broiled the chops.  I cut the meat and added it after   everything was mixed together.

YUM!!!  I had 1/4 of a head of green cabbage in fridge and I added to this recipe and it turned out fabulous!

This recipe was great,But after adding some more soy sauce at the end(i thought it didn't have quite enough flavor

This turned out great! I doubled the recipe because I made a 16 oz. box of noodles. I will make this again for sure!

Made this last night and it was great, but i did double the teriyaki sauce.

This was fantastic. I used a whole box of spaghetti so I had to double this recipe. I didn't quite have enough soy sauce, only 2 tablespoon so I added an extra tablespoon of teriyaki, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and tablepsoon of sweet thai chili....must say pretty good.

First time attempting  Chinese cooking....if u don't count Ramen Noodles! This sauce is perfect! I didn't change a thing. It was a last minute idea and I had all of the ingredients on hand. Basic stuff and so delicious. I will add shrimp and whatever veggies I have on hand next time to make it even better. I also made it again with zucchini noodles because I just got a veggetti deluxe. Sooo good &amp; less carbs. Thanks for sharing this crowd pleasing, easy recipe.

I love this recipe, I leave out the celery and add Bell Peppers. Since some reviewers noted a problem with the carrots staying stiff, I add the carrots into the boiling noodles while they were cooking 1-2 minutes before taking it off the stove. I  added crushed pepper and a sesame seed, spice Cook Asia mix to the sauce.

Overall great recipe, will be using it several times.

Accurately named--lo mein noodles.  If you want to make it a main dish, I would suggest adding a lot more vegetables (and meat, if desired).  Also, at least double the sauce.  Excellent flavor--thank you for submitting.

This lo mein is great!  you can get the actual lo mein noodles which is great or just use the spaghetti noodles, also fry the carrots and celery for a couple minutes before adding the onion, and also add a little extra soy and teriyaki after finished cooking... to taste.

Excellent recipe. Will use again and again!!!

Quick, easy, and easy to adjust to your own liking.

I thought this recipe was awesome!  My husband was impressed too - using spaghetti made me a little skeptical, but honestly - it was so delicious!  I didn't have low sodium soy sauce, so I used regular, and I didn't have onion and carrot - but I DID have fresh ginger - minced it up - added some fresh garlic - wow - so flavorful!  Loved it!

Wow this was awesome! I added sesame oil with canola oil, and sesame seeds. My whole family loved it!

This is a good basic recipe to use up a variety of ingredients in either the sauce or the stir fry itself. I made a version with soba noodles instead of spaghetti, and added a sprinkling of sesame seeds at the end. I only needed about 3 minutes for the last step.  I also found the sauce too sweet for me so I needed to add some granulated garlic, hot sauce and extra soy sauce to my portion. Next time I make it, I may add a different selection of veggies and maybe some 5 spice powder and/or dried chili flakes.

My family and I loved it.  We will definitely be making again.  Only change we made was adding garlic to the sauce and adding more veggies. We used zucchini, onion, carrots, red and green peppers.  Maybe next time will add in a meat, shrimp or chicken.

My teenager wanted Lo Mein, but she is very picky so I ended up with just the pasta and sauce.  It was a hit. Next time I think I can slip in some slivered carrot and perhaps edamame for color.  I think letting the spaghetti noodles cool before adding them to the sauce kept them firm. 2nd go, I added meat, carrot and edamame.  Delish, and the texture is great.

This was great! First time ever making lo mein. Very easy. I followed the recipe exactly, only I didn't have green onion, but threw in some mushrooms instead. Perfect.

Very easy to make.  I used shredded carrots from the grocery store and they cooked up nicely with the other veggies.  I thought the sauce was a little watery. Reminiscent of sweet Thai food as opposed to Chinese but very good.  Will make again and will add minced garlic next time.

I didn't particularly care for this. I wasn't feeling the flavors. It's certainly not the worst thing I've ever had, but I don't plan on making it again.

This was great! I didn't have honey on hand so I added two tbsp of brown sugar and at the end added two packets of equal. I used thinly sliced cabbage and white onion because I had it on hand. I love garlic so I tossed in some minced garlic. Paired with chicken marinated in Lawrys sesame ginger marinade this was a delicious meal!

Really came together very nicely and authentically.  My family loved it.  Added Red peppers and a drop of oyster sauce.  I also mix my oil with wok or thai oil for extra flavors.  I used fresh grated ginger as well.  This was a hit.  This recipe is adaptable to all taste.

This is a great recipe! I didn't adjust it but added cabbage to it and it was a huge hit in my house!

I just tried this recipe using shrimp and it is delicious! I only used the veggies that I have red bell peppers, onion, carrots. I did add sweet chili sauce like another reviewer mentioned and 3 tbs more of soy sauce with a tbs of cornstarch to create a little thicker sauce. Everyone loved it! Seemed as easy as making spaghetti.

Due to personal preference, we omitted the celery and carrots. Also didn't have any honey so we substituted it with corn syrup. Everything else we left the same and LOVED it. Will make this way again in the future!

I'm making this a second time tonight. I love it just as is.  Tonight we are going to add some extra veggies and some roasted peanuts.  I found Lo Mein noodles at our grocery store for the first time we made it, but tonight I'm using the left over spaghetti noodles from dinner a couple nights ago.  Great way to use up a left over and dress it differently! Can't wait.  Already made the dressing &amp; cut up my veggies so it's going to be a really quick throw together dinner!

OMG!!!! I made this dish for the first time and It was amazing. 
I really don't like a lot vegetables in my noodles so I made it with carrots and onions and It was amazing. I also didn't add the cumin. I replaced it with pepper. I am VERY proud of the way it turned out. I am also proud of myself for completing it!

We love this recipe.  The only modification we made was adding three tablespoons more of the teriyaki and a couple of pinches of salt (since we used low sodium soy and teriyaki sauces).

I used what I had on hand. I used thawed frozen veggies and linguine noodles. I made the homemade teriyaki sauce and used that. I put about a tablespoon of honey while cooking everything together. All in all, it was pretty tasty. I will most definitely use this recipe again.

This is fantastic and ridiculously easy. I couldn't keep my fork out of it. Thanks for the recipe, SarBetEns!

I always head to the lo-mein first when at a Chinese buffet so wanted to make it myself.  This recipe was delish with making a double batch of the sauce and adding 2 cups of shredded cabbage.  I think I used more then 8 oz. of spaghetti, too.  i didn't know that this was made with normal old spaghetti...thought it was a different kind of noodle.

Love this dish, it’s quick and easy to prepare.

I never make changes to a recipe when trying it for the first time.  This one does not need any changes, it is 5 stars just as it is.

LOVED this recipe.  Made it with the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp

this's a really good recipe though I did replace the honey with maple syrup because I'm a vegan other then that it's really good

I  double the sauce is others suggested and I use Sesame oil in place of the vegetable oil. Also I added shrimp , green peppers and peapods . It turned out delicious

Just didn't have that great of a taste, lo mien is one of those things you can't make diet and expect it to taste right.

I made this and just substituted thinly sliced green and red peppers for the celery.  My picky family ate it all!  The sauce combination is great--just right.  I was happy to find this to have as a side when I make thinly-sliced, grilled and marinated London broil.  It is definitely becoming a staple at my house.

Really enjoyed these noodles. Easy and quick. This is a perfect recipe for using whatever you might have on hand. I would advise to actually use lo mein noodles, however. Maybe Udon. Not spaghetti.

I followed the recipe as written,  but doubled the sauce and added more red pepper flakes to it and it was great.  I got a “You nailed it.  Let’s have that again soon”!  I’ll reduce the soy sauce next time...for my tastebuds!

Very good recipe!    I used sesame oil in place of the vegetable oil.  I also added pork for some meat in the dish.
Will definitely make again.

Third time was the charm. The first two lo mein recipes I tried were complete flops. This one was a complete success. I did add some red pepper flakes to the sauce and sesame oil to the spaghetti like others did, and I added some stir fried pork to make it a complete meal. This will become a regular in our home.

Delightful! Tasted very much like restaurant lo-mein.  I'll definitely make it again.

Added sesame oil, garlic to the sauce.  Overall pretty good, I would double the sauce for next time around.

Made this for the first time as a quick week night dinner and it was awesome mixed in some extra veggies and served with a side of rice yummmmmm.

We found it a little dry so I doubled the sauce. then it was very good

Just made this for dinner tonight, it was delicious! I made a HUGE pot of it since this is a pretty full house, and it disappeared quickly, no seconds for anyone! lol They all loved it, will definitely make it again! :)

Awesome,  add broccoli florets to it too. soooooo good!

I can not believe how easy and quick this dish is to make.  The sauce is awesome and authentic.  I use frozen stir-fry veggie and add in mushrooms.  Love it love it love it!

Made it twice - with spaghetti and ramen noodles.  Family preferred ramen noodles.  Family loved it and made the rotation.  I made with spaghetti but don't care for celery or sprouts so I used shredded carrots and zucchini; for the sauce I had to leave teriyaki out (think it was too old) so sprinkled a little brown sugar.   We all loved it but granddaughter suggested the ramen noodles.  Next time I used ramen noodles with shredded carrots and zucchini and same sauce combo.  Wow!  What a difference!  It's a quick and easy dish to whip up!  Made it third time but threw in chicken - it was delicious!   Will be having to triple this recipe cuz everyone wants leftovers … lots of leftover.  Very versatile recipe!  About the sauce  - when you mix sauce ingredients it doesn't seem like much but don't let that fool you - it's just the right amount.   One more thing - break up ramen noodles into chunks before you throw them in water so they'll be easier to mix with other ingredients.

Everyone liked the finished product a lot.  When I assembled the sauce (substituting brown sugar for the honey to make it strictly vegan), I found it to be almost inedibly salty and bitter; I had to add much more brown sugar to balance the flavors.  I don’t know if it was my choice of teriyaki sauce, or what, but we couldn’t have eaten it the way it was.  It turned out pretty good, though, after all is said and done. ***Edit: Changing my rating from 4 to 5 stars because the second time I made this I used the honey (with the same brand of Teriyaki sauce) instead of brown sugar, and what a huge difference it made!  It was delicious when staying true to the recipe.  Lesson learned.

Very good, easy dish.  I added some stir fry veggies and broiled chicken breast to make it a heartier dish. Will definitely make again.

Yummy! I used extra sauce and a touch more soy sauce. Didn't add celery, not much of a fan. But it was yummy, very flavorful

I followed LYNNINMA 'S advice, and i thought it came out decent. I only had mushrooms, celery and onion to add. I'd recommend using a chinese noodle, udon or such to get the desired texture. Also needs more flavor, maybe you could achieve that with a higher vegetable : pasta ratio.

This is a great recipe! I would recommend it. The only thing I did different was add more vegetables

I made this as part of the Allrecipes Allstar Canada #HealthyWinterDinner campaign. My husband's family is Dutch, Indonesian cuisine is popular in their cooking, this recipe reminded me of Bahmi Goreng. I used vegetables I had on hand garlic, yellow onion, mushrooms, red pepper, carrots and broccoli, I sauteed in 1 tbsp canola oil and 1 tsp sesame oil. I am also on a low sodium diet, I made homemade Ketjap Manis with 1/2 cup coconut aminos, 1/4 cup molasses and 1/4 cup brown sugar, boiled until thickened, which I substituted for the soya sauce, teriyaki sauce and honey. I used 1 tsp fresh ginger for the powdered and also added 1 tsp Sambal Oelek for a kick. I used whole wheat spaghettini for the pasta and topped with an egg to add some protein.  Drizzled some of the Ketjap Manis over top and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Thanks for a great recipe!

it tasted awesome however it is not the lo mein I'm used to from the Chinese restaurants. I will make it again for sure. I did however cook the veggies in the broth from the chicken instead of oil. the only reason I'm giving it a four is it wasn't what I was expecting.

Looking for a quick recipe since it's just me and my son living in a condo. I followed everything on the recipe except I replaced ground ginger with dashi and used linguini instead of spaghetti and added chicken strips. My son &amp; I loved it. Quick, easy and tasty

This was very good, I added mushrooms and extra sauce.

This was a perfect recipe. So tasty!! I just doubled the sauce because I also added garlic, shrimp, baby corn, and sliced water chestnuts. Perfect take-out made at home.

I used one box of noodles, doubled veggies, and added boiled chicken. I diced all veggies. We like sauce, so I tripled the sauce. It taste awesome!

I made this and loved it so much I made a second batch so I would have leftovers to take to work. I didn’t have scallions in the house so I skipped them. I had some portobello mushroom caps and added those.  I doubled the sauce recipe.  I will defiantly be making this regularly.

I make it with chopped sirloin for stir fry I get at the store. Added zucchini too it as well. Sometimes to give it a kick we add 2-3 Thai chili’s finely chopped. Great quick meal.

This is a great recipe and very easy to follow. I added a few cloves of chopped garlic and used frozen vegetables with a fresh onion, yellow pepper and green onion.

This is a good base recipe, but I tweaked it quite a bit.  I ended up tripling the amount of ginger after tasting the sauce and adding crushed red pepper and sesame oil to suit my taste.  The recipe as written was just ok-  not bad, but a bit bland for our liking.  I used a black bean spaghetti (gluten free), and tossed in more vegetables.  The sauce is a good base, and probably more suited to people who don't like much spice.

Made this without the teriyaki sauce, used fettuccine and 100% maple syrup instead of honey. It came out really well. Added some zucchini as well to get more veggies in the mix.

Loved it. Made a few changes. I used lo mein noodles and 2 TBSP of regular soy sauce instead of low sodium

I was mainly wanting the base of the sauce, so I added my own version of veggies, but the sauce is a total hit!

This was pretty good but needed something. As written was a little sweet. Maybe sesame oil, hot chili oil, garlic?

This was good, the whole family loved it. We doubled the sauce recipe, cooked up chicken breast and thighs which we seasoned with garlic powder. We also used more veggies, carrots, celery, broccoli &amp; cauliflower. It made a lot, but who doesn't love leftovers. Made the sauce to the recipe but left out onions.

Whole family liked this. I did double the sauce (everything but the ginger), and used only broccoli. Very tasty. Will definately make again.

Tried it tonight and it was simple and well received.  I thought it was a little bland will add some additional seasoning next time.

I made the sauce exactly as called for since that is the star of the show; only I made four times as much since I was doubling the noodles and adding chicken and yellow squash. It was delicious although a bit sweet for my taste. I will omit 2 tablespoons of the honey next time. This is very similar to what I get at a local Chinese restaurant. I will make this often.

I looked at most of the Lo Mein recipes, both here and on tablespoon.com, looking primarily at the sauce ingredients as I already knew the pasta, vegetables, and even meat could be substituted. I knew I was going to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs and different veggies,. It was just the sauce that mattered. I really liked the sound of the sauce for this recipe so I made it last night for my supper. As I said I used the thighs, and since my favorite restaurant Lo Mein had cabbage and carrots I checked out the packaged produce at my store looking for shredded coleslaw mix, and found 1 that had cabbage, carrots, kale and broccoli that sounded better. and thats what I used this time. I also have some broccoli florets, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and sliced bamboo shoots for the next time I make it. It turned out very well, and the sauce is easy to make and very tasty. It's also a quick and easy meal to make, which is a plus as I hate spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

A quick and easy Asian-inspired noodle dish.
