DP said he would like just a little more Soy. I don't like lo mein, or "wet" noodles. If you prefer yours wetter, just add in some chick broth with the noodles.
to was really good, and honestly tasted like the real thing (used to love Panda Express in a former life).
I served this with a simple Broccoli Beef...very easy...and you can see my kitchen helper in the pics. He's waiting for his cooked bone, from the steak, for the Broccoli Beef...LOL
