Hmmm. I liked this dish, only I didn't find it overly flavorful, and that was even with reducing the lo mein noodles to 1/2 pound but keeping everything else the same. I only used 1 tsp sesame oil as it is very strong, so perhaps that is where my flavor problem stems from. I will try again, but may add additional garlic or maybe some oyster or fish sauce?

yummy yummy! i love rachel ray! just make sure that you have a large enough pan so that you can mix the pasta in, I dont have a wok and had trouble mixing all the spaghetti in. This definately makes more that four servings though! My family of 5 had plenty of leftover. I wish I would had the bean sprouts in there. We had them, but they went bad before I could use them. :( but very yummy none the less!
