This is my go-to lazy dinner recipe! So quick and delicious. I always have these ingredients on hand. The sauce is perfectly balanced - savory with a hint of sweetness. I add extra garlic because I'm a garlic fiend. Better than any takeout!
Perfect for college students! Cheap, quick, and delicious. I used regular spaghetti since I couldn't find lo mein noodles and it worked great. Added some crispy tofu for protein. Will make again and again!
Really good! I made this with whatever veggies I had - zucchini, snap peas, and broccoli. The sauce recipe is a keeper. Would love a spicier version next time - might add some chili flakes.
