Comments
This recipe is from Steamy Kitchen and it was fantastic.  I was surprised we had any leftovers at all because we all gobbled it up.  The leftovers, however, were quite tasty too!  Everything was easy to bring together and the cooking goes very fast once you’ve got everything prepped.  I haven’t made very many Asian noodle dishes in the past, but this will certainly inspire me to make more in the future.
