When I saw this picture just knew I had to try this recipe. Followed the recipe exactly except no mushrooms as I forgot to buy them, wish I had as I know it'd be even better. We did use flat rice noodles instead of egg and really liked that. We even used the sriracha sauce and it was wonderful, but you are right it's VERY hot. DH has been asking for something like this for a long time and now I've done it. This was perfect for a cold, chilly day and reheated perfect for the next day too.
