Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- ¼ yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic powder, and ginger in a small bowl until sugar dissolves; set sauce aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat; cook and stir shrimp in hot oil until they begin to turn reddish-pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli, onion, and mushrooms; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Push shrimp and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Cook eggs in the clear space in the skillet, scrambling lightly, until no longer wet, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir together cooked eggs, shrimp, and vegetables until combined. Add spaghetti and sauce; cook and stir until hot and evenly mixed, about 2 minutes more.

Reviews
I didn’t have (or want) fish sauce so added more soy and some rice vinegar. I also added more broccoli and some thinly sliced carrots for color. I wish I had cut the sugar in half because it was much too sweet. All in all, I enjoyed it.
Really simple to throw together. Always looking for good Chinese dishes as most restaurants aren’t that great. Really loved it even through I didn’t have the crimini mushrooms. It makes a lot for 2 people so we had leftovers.
Made this with white rice! Yum yum
It turned out great. Yes, I made a few changes because there were some ingredients I did not have on hand; i.e., osyter sauce (used Hosien) instead, fish sauce (used worcestershire and rice vinegar instead. Next time I will use stated ingredients to do a comparison.
This recipe is easy and delicious. I doubled the sauce recipe just like other reviews. I used bok choy, celery, bamboo shoots and frozen stir fry vegetables as my husband does not like broccoli. Great recipe to use any vegetables you have. It turned out perfect!
Very tasty, one of the favorite meals I’ve made
Good, but not exciting – I might have given it a 4 except that the proportions seem off too for 2 servings. I strongly recommend adding a lot more vegetables and making it 4 servings.
This was so delicious. I love cooking Asian food. This is now one of my favorite recipes. I omitted the fish sauce, just a personal preference and add a drizzle of sesame oil to the noodles. Hubby commented on it first saying “Yummmmmmmmmm!)
It came out great had to double the ingredients for family of six
My family like this “imitation Lo Mein”. I made it using 4 packages of Ramen noodles, a total of 12 oz. I double the sauce for that and that was plenty for 4 servings. For the veggies, I used what I had on hand, broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers.
I doubled the sauce, used wide Lo Mein noodles, and added red bell pepper and cabbage that was just hanging out in the fridge but cut out the eggs. We both really enjoyed it! Will make again
I added some peanuts to give it a little crunch.
Tastes good, but the reason for the neutral rating is that this is NOT Lo Mein. This is fried rice using spaghetti in place of the rice. There’s no egg in Lo Mein and the sauce is too sweet to be Lo Mein. One tip, shrimp should be cooked the least. It only takes 2 minutes or less to fully cook shrimp depending on the heat. Shrimp should be added last. If you want the shrimp taste in the sauce, throw the tails into water and heat for a while. Strain and use the water as a shrimpy broth.
This was absolutely delicious and tastes just like Chinese takeout. My family loved it. Adding this to our recipes.
Really good and relatively easy. I opted to roast veggies first because I like them more cooked and a little crispy. Will definitely make again!
A lot of soduim in this dish. Used 1 tsp of fish sauce and low sodium soy sauce. Great flavor still.
This is amazing .
I used lo mein noodles and chicken. Next time I would double the sauce, it wasn’t quite enough.
I followed the recipe except for adding extra veggies. We really liked it. Next time I will double the sauce.
No changes and I will definitely make it again. My husband is diabetic and he loved this dish.
Super yummy and tasty! I made with regular spaghetti and it turned out great. A pound was a bit overbearing at first so I doubled the veggies and garlic.
