Lo mein recipes that call for broth are great if you want soup. This is the lo mein you get in a good restaurant. The cabbage is what puts it over the top. Bok choy would be a great substitute or, if you must, celery. The marinade worked well, but I'm still not clear about what constituted the "last six ingredients" I reserved the garlic for cooking the chicken, and I think that's what the author intended.

Next time, I'll add ginger to the marinade. Maybe bean sprouts with the cabbage. You can recreate your favorite restaurant's lo mein with this recipe, and that is it's true genius.
