I added flavored tofu, which added some additional protein and substance to this dish. My whole family liked it and I will definitely make it again. Loved the ginger sauce.
0 HelpfulQuite tasty. I only found a package of 6 oz noodles so I halved the honey and sesame oil but added all the rest in the same proportions. Next time I'll add an egg or chicken. 13 WW points.
0 HelpfulThis was easy and delicious. I left out the broccoli but added a bag of stir fry veggies and a carton of mushrooms. Really good. At first I was worried there wasn't enough sauce but the ginger really coated everything and it was very flavorful.
