Used 14oz of rice noodles, added a zucchini, used mixed stir-fry veggies rather than broccoli. Very good! 2nd time- GF vermicelli, 2 cups frozen veggies, 2 peppers and broccoli.
0 HelpfulThis was a big hit with my 7-yr-old daughter and her friends. I ended up using Soba noodles and adding in a zucchini. Also, I only had 8 oz of noodles on hand, but it seemed fine. Delish!
0 HelpfulOh yum!! This was one of our favorite Stir Fry recipes! Think we loved the sauce the most...which of course I doubled. Definitely a re-do for sure!
0 HelpfulMy picky daughter liked "the meat"! Although truth be told, she's also liked other recipes with soy sauce/rice vinegar.
