This is a really, really good dish. However, the measurements for the sauce are inaccurate...you should add about 1/3 of the measurements more for the sauce. I also added oyster sauce, and chili garlic paste. The chili garlic paste makes it spicy and just a little bit tangy...and it tastes great with this dish! Even without the additional ingredients that I added, this dish is superb! Will definitely make again. Its a keeper!

This recipe is a definite keeper! I had a 13.5 oz. pkg of noodles, so I really doubled the recipe, added the veggies listed plus diagonally cut snow peas and also browned a lb. pkg. of ground turkey. It served 6 generously and everyone loved it.
