DH really loved this ~ for me, it was good, but needed just a bit of something hot in it ... red pepper flakes or some chilies. I'll keep that in mind next time. Went together very quickly as I had everything prepared and ready to throw together. I think I'll also increase the dressing ~ it does get absorbed by the noodles. Thanks for posting ~ made and enjoyed for ZWT 6 - ASIA & the ZWT 6 Asian Diabetic Forum Challenge!

This was very tasty, I drizzled a little extra sesame oil over my bowl of noodles!! I used celery, and a yellow pepper, carrot and broccoli, forgot to add the cilantro until after the photo was taken!! I loved the crunchy vegetables and shrimp, I sprinkled some chopped peanuts over top. I will make this again!

This made a really wonderful lunch! It's very pretty. I didn't have any snow peas, so increased the amount of cucumber. I doubled the sauce by habit, but next time I will triple or quadruple it as the noodles really absorbed it. I definitely wouldn't go over the 4 ounces of rice sticks for 4 servings. We also served Frank's Red Hot Sauce as a condiment, and everyone used it generously! Thanks, Ellie! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
