Very tasty. The steak is so tender it falls apart.

Made this last night, it turned out a bit greasy, and tasted in no way chinese.

This was a pretty tasty meal. It was easy to make and cooked up just like the recipe stated.

This meal was easy to make, but lacked a little something "Special". This meal reminded me of the Chow Mein you can buy in the cans at the grocery store. My wife gave this a little higher rating than what I (the cook) posted. This may be put into our meal rotation, just not that often. Adding the partially frozen pea pods at the end, really helped them stay "crunchy". I would also recommend adding chow mein noodles when serving. So, if you like Chow Mein in the can, you will enjoy this recipe!

This is a good tasty meal. Made it up the night before, turned the crockpot on when I went to work and when I got home it was just about ready. This is a keeper for me!
