Lizbug Love this recipe. Super fast and easy, comes to together quick enough for a weekday meal when you're in a rush. Also, great for some cold Chinese takeout-esque leftovers the next day. I usually have all the ingredients on hand except the bok choy, so I occasionally substitute spinach for the bok choy.

bambinaia I made this recipe for dinner tonight to use up some tofu in my fridge. My boyfriend and I both give it 4 stars out of 5. While the recipe is delicious, the recipe calls for far too much chili paste. It was SO SPICY. We will make this again, with perhaps half the chili paste.

sjcpeach The changes I made were due to what I could find in my regular grocery store so I think it will be helpful. First, no sweet bean sauce but I found spicy brown bean sauce so used that instead - however like above that meant even with cutting down the chili garlic sauce it was REALLY spicy so I doubled the soy sauce and sugar. I also couldn't find baby bok choy so I used sweet onion and yellow pepper and that worked well. Finally since my husband refuses to eat tofu I used shrimp which worked with the noodles. Overall a good and versitile dish. We like spicy so it still had plenty of kick. I think if I hadn't adjusted the soy and sugar it would have been close to unedible spicy but you just have to play with it. I like the idea of subbing hoisin instead of the bean sauce as someone else suggested which i'm sure cuts the spicy better.

MaggieC123 I found this recipe to be bland and slightly slimy. The tofu and the noodles have the same texture, providing no variety or interest in the dish.

Belanos Great recipe. I couldn't find sweet bean sauce (substituted hoisin sauce) or fresh (or frozen) Chinese lo mein egg noodles, so I substituted whole wheat linguine on the first try, and whole wheat egg noodles the 2nd time. I used the full 3 tablespoons of chile paste with garlic and found the heat level to be fine. The 2nd time, instead of the 4 baby bok choy heads, I used a whole head of (non-baby) bok choy, plus 4 julienned carrots to for more vegetables (and more veg wouldn't be bad). I also added some chopped peanuts to the individual serving dishes, which added a nice crunch to the dish.
