I rated a 4 because I had no celery or mushrooms, instead I grated in 4 small carrots. Maybe could have used a bit more soya sauce or something for more flavour. A nice and easy recipe, tasted good too. I will try this again, and experiment with flavourings then rate again with the results.

Was in Florida @ condo without a cookbook and looked online for a Chow Mein recipe. Tried this and have made it a number of times since. Have added chow mein vegetables or bean sprouts to original recipe as we like that extra crunch.

Recipe was on the money! My wife and I really enjoyed it. I added some crushed up cashews and a little more soy sauce. Thank you for sharing!
