I have made this several times since I own the Rachael Ray book it is in (Express Lane Meals). I think it is a wonderful, versatile recipe and it is in my regular rotation. I love that it's a one-dish meal, and I just use what I have on hand for meat-chicken, pork, or both. I love the flavor and my kids (4 and 6 year olds) will eat it, which is a plus. I typically leave out water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms because I never have them. I still think it's great!

I made this as a vegetable lo mein as I was serving egg rolls with meat on the side. I added a can of baby corn, broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and bamboo shoots. I also omitted the hot sauce. I found the amount of fresh ginger & garlic a little overpowering, especially in the leftovers the next day. I will definitely cut those back to better suit our tastes next time, but I will be making this again. It is a terrific "use what's on hand" recipe. Thank you for posting it.
