It's missing bean sprouts and they have to be fried seperately and get all the water out. And yes use chow mein. "chow" means fried.."lo" for lo meain means just tossed. Panda is a chow mein, it has been fried before which makes it NOT mooshy and appealing. Gotta buy the chinese chow mein in a local chinese market it usually is prepackaged fresh then you boil it for a few minutes. Fry it in VERY HOT OIL seperately first..then cook it again w your other ingredients with soy, oyster, a tiny bit sesame oil, but it's key that all your veggies and or meat and have thinly sliced onions and dried and fried bean sprouts too to get the right flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and I'm sorry but nasty is the only word that comes to mind when I ate this. It tasted NOTHING like Panda Express chow mein. It pretty much tasted like sesame oil poured over noodles. Very disgusting. My family found it to be inedible and we'll eat pretty much anything!! I would not recommend this to anyone.
