Vegetable Lo Mein with Edamame and Mustard Greens

I used noodles that I already had in my pantry (brown rice and mung bean noodles; mixed them) as to use up what I had on hand.  Made for great leftovers for lunch.

I agree that this was a labor-intensive recipe but the results were very good. Like the others I made a few substitutions - soba noodles, dried shiitakes and yellow bell pepper. I actually had only 8 oz. of noodles, but this was just as well as the veggies seemed meager in comparison (and I cut back the soy sauce to 2T accordingly). I had some lovely red mustard greens to use and expected them to play a starring role, but found that they cooked down to a mere footnote. My husband and I enjoyed this and I would make it again, though with half the noodles, twice (at least) the greens and I might even omit the hoisin sauce.

I made this last night and my husband said its one of his new favorite dishes! I couldnt get fresh noodles, so I used dried bucatini (which are not egg) and fresh shitakes instead of dried wood ear mushrooms (I've never even heard of these) and it came out great. Definitely a little time consuming for a week night, but I am absolutely going to make it again on a weekend when I can have time to make the fresh egg noodles by hand. I also might try adding a teaspoon of chili paste as someone did below!

This was excellent, a really tasty Asian noodle dish. However, I did make some changes. First off I used a "heaping" 1/4 cup of dried mushrooms and doubled the mustard greens. I also added 1 TBSP of chili-garlic paste with the hoisin sauce which I think makes a big difference. I agree, this is not a "quick recipe", at least not for 1 person to make. It will take you an hour or so all told, including prep and clean-up. I basically divided it into four servings, which was perfectly adequate.

We thought this was fabulous. My only changes were to use just 9 oz. of fresh fettucine (the smaller amount of noodles probably intensified flavors) and add a heaping tsp. of chile garlic paste. Next time, I will double the mustard greens as the three cups cooked down to just a little bit. The flavors were wonderful together. Because it was a one dish meal and we had less pasta, this served three adults.

I also think the recipe was not quick, but I did think it was very easy. And very yummy. I used soba noodles instead of egg, and it came out great. I also omitted the hoisin sauce. I love greens, and I would actually double the greens next time.
