Quick, easy and delicious, other posters mentioned having pineapple too which I did and oh yes spot on with that, I only cook for myself so had to adjust accordingly which I thought was going to be easy but think I still over did it a little on the soy sauce but I will know next time, and yes there IS going to be a next time.

This was delicious. I served it with brown rice instead of noodles, and sauteed snow peas and bean sprouts on the side. I also used fresh ginger and went just slightly heavy on the chili sauce. Next time I might add just a wee bit more. So quick and easy to make, this one is definitely a keeper.

I have been making this for a couple of years now and LOVE it!! My oldest four kids (ages 8-14) all consider this to be one of their all time favorite meals. I always use fresh ginger and a variety of pepper strips. Last night I did not have the soba noodles and just overcooked some spaghetti...worked out great!

This recipe is ok, a little bland. I ended up putting in a little more of the chili sauce and some peanuts.

We have made this for dinner-with-friends & it received great acclaim! We cut the spiciness of it by serving a Ceylon Nejeera tea, but agree some sliced pineapple would be a super accompaniment!
