Very tasty and filling enough for dinner. I did add an extra tablespoon of both hoisin and teriyaki sauce. My market didn't have bean sprouts (to my surprise), so I used broccoli slaw instead and it worked well in these. Also, I used green leaf lettuce; the boston variety was a little sparse looking in my market.
