Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 stalks celery, sliced
2 large carrots, cut into large matchsticks
sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1: Gather all ingredients. This will ensure you have everything ready to go before cooking.

Step 2: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Once done, drain and rinse the spaghetti with cold water to cool it.

Step 3: While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Set this mixture aside for later use.

Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced celery, carrots, sweet onion, and green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they begin to soften slightly.

Step 5: Add the cooked spaghetti and the prepared soy sauce mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

This recipe serves as a fantastic foundation, but I found it beneficial to incorporate a few additional ingredients to enhance the flavors: I included 1/2 of a green bell pepper (sliced thinly and sautéed with the other vegetables in my wok), 2 minced cloves of garlic (added towards the end of stir-frying the vegetables), roughly 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil (mixed with the cooked spaghetti without rinsing it), and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (for a hint of spiciness). I opted not to alter the original sauce recipe as it was already perfect. Additionally, at my sister's request, I garnished the dish with chopped roasted peanuts. I will definitely be making this recipe repeatedly, occasionally adding a protein source to make it even more satisfying. Many thanks to SarBetEns for providing such a solid foundation for a delicious lo mein dish.

Lo Mein noodles are easily accessible, so there is no need to substitute Italian pasta in an Asian dish.

I enhanced the flavor of my teriyaki/soy/honey/ginger sauce by incorporating 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. For the vegetables, I included two cups of white mushrooms during cooking. For the chicken breast and pork, I sautéed them in a mixture of oil, minced garlic, and Hoisin Sauce to further elevate the dish.

I absolutely love the sauce in this recipe - it adds so much flavor! I ended up doubling the recipe because it's just too good, and we always end up eating too much ;) I used a large skillet and started off by sautéing onion, minced garlic, matchstick carrots, and shredded cabbage. This combination is our favorite. I served it with the Asian pork tenderloin from this site as well. Sprinkled some scallions on top, and it made for such a beautiful presentation.

I tried making Lo Mein for the first time and it turned out amazing! I added broccoli, red bell pepper, and cabbage, and used avocado oil instead of vegetable oil, as well as spaghetti instead of egg noodles. I cooked everything in about a cup and a half of chicken broth before adding the sauce. The result was fantastic!

Third time's the charm! After two failed attempts at making lo mein, I finally found success with this recipe. Following the advice of others, I added red pepper flakes to the sauce, sesame oil to the noodles, and stir-fried pork for a complete meal. This dish will definitely be a regular in our household.

Add one tablespoon of sesame oil to the mixture.

Substituting soba noodles for the spaghetti and reducing the amount of honey by half really elevated this dish. I loved the addition of broccoli and red bell pepper for a pop of color, and using sesame oil added a delicious layer of flavor.

This recipe was a hit! I prepared it to bring to work for my weekday lunches and added some baked tofu for extra heartiness. I enjoy savory flavors, so I opted for regular soy sauce over low-sodium. The teriyaki sauce with pineapple juice really elevated the dish. It could easily transition into a fantastic dinner by adding your preferred protein.
