    You can approximate Chinese noodles with spaghetti, but you need to put a little sodium carbonate in the water to get the same texture. Sodium carbonate is washing soda and can be made from baking soda by baking it in the oven at 300° until it stops giving off CO2, takes about an hour, but then you have a bunch for use later.

      @@johnwatrous3058 you can definitely do that, just most people have baking soda but not washing soda and it’s an easy process. I currently have a box of carbonate, but no bicarbonate. I use a lot to make copper carbonate for various copper chemistry experiments.

    Chinese restaurants are always going to be inconsistent everywhere you go. We have several in my hometown that are like that.

A small order of it will fill me up just right.

I've found a couple restrants that came close, but never one that beat it.

    Haven't done frozen chinese in a really long time but one of the things i recall being a recurring theme is that they are usually overly sweet, or they have an overdose of either ginger or sesame oil which almost makes the food taste synthetic. PF changs home menu was ok but not really cost effective.

    As a person who lived in China and knows what real Chinese food should taste like (especially Sichuan), I have pretty much stopped trying Chinese food…it is always a disappointment. Lo and behold after moving to Atlanta not only did I find a restaurant serving authentic Sichuan food but the chef is from one of the cities I lived in. It is on the other side of the ATL from us, so if you know you know, but well worth it for me to occasionally splurge on their pure deliciousness (Gu’s Kitchen if you are in the area)
    Have you tried Indian food or Indian food from the freezer section? Honestly the majority of it scratches the itch when you have the urge.

    I like a good saucy lo mein with semi thick lo mein/hokkien egg noodles. I grew up with my uncle's restaurant's lo mein, so I'm biased, but I just can't find another Chinese restaurant who properly seasons their lo mein or uses the right noodle. It's always one or the other. Their seasoning will be okay, but they use udon or spaghetti noodles. Or they use the right noodles, but it tastes bland. That or the noodles are dry or overcooked. I love lo mein, but have paid for disappointment way too many times. I've seen this frozen lo mein many times at my local grocery store, nice to know what it tastes and looks like, will most likely never be purchasing it lol

    I like the Innovasian white rice and fried rice. Never had this lo mein. But I know who DOES make great beef lo mein; Birdseye! I only buy them on sale buy one get one free because they are rather pricey now(like everything else). Before you open the bag, slam it down on the counter several times so that it will break up all the ingredients that are frozen together. Then follow the simple instructions on the bag. Even though the beef strips aren't real pure beef strips, I think they taste really good! Tender and juicy. And the vegetables are delicious too. Last but not least, the sauce is perfect; I think it's delicious and wouldn't change a thing. They don't give you too little or too much. I can't recommend it enough to anyone who wants to be able to make delicious beef lo mein at home quick and easy. They even make some of the recipes in two sizes; 21 and 42oz. Can't recall if the lo mein is one of those since it's the 21oz that go on sale.
