Great noodles! I made half a recipe and left out the shrimp because I served them with Recipe #81096. It made a lot so have leftovers for later. -
Didn't want to star, as I changed quite a bit. DD allergic to onion family, so didn't use shallots, scallions or garlic. Didn't have the other veg. either! I think this would taste awesome with them. Since I couldn't use them, I added salt and pepper to the chicken we used, as it cooked. I think it came out a bit salty, but everyone liked it anyways. I did add some arrowroot to make the sauce thicker too.
