Brussels Sprouts and Shiitake Lo Mein Recipe

Wow.  This was amazing.  Mmm….

Changes to the recipe.

• First–I used one package fresh Shitake Mushrooms instead of dried.  No brainer, right?
• Second–instead of 4oz egg noodles, I used the whole bag–12oz.  (I increased everything else a smidge as well.)
• Sprouts carries “Mung Sprouts,” but they were out.  Their regular sprouts were $3,99!  So I thought I’d get them for $1.99 like I used to at King Soopers.  D’Oh!  King Soopers no longer carries sprouts!  So I had to return to Sprouts a second time to purchase sprouts.  Irony?

I can’t explain how good this was.  Without Soy Sauce, a little bland, but… still a rich garlic flavor (that I love.)  Only put a splash of Soy Sauce on, though.  Tim and I both overdid it.  🙂  When I make this again, I will splurge and use two cartons of Shitake Mushrooms.  Also, I might add some tofu or chicken to make it a one-skillet-meal. Tonight, I served it with Thai Fish Sauce and Lime Chicken.  The flavors definitely complemented one another, but I think each can stand alone.
