"Rice noodles may be used in place of the vermicelli ---for easier slicing partially freeze the pork first."

Lovely balanced taste - I loved the fact that the sauce nicely coated the noodles without the need of cornstarch. Since I had no spinach, I added a bag of frozen shelled edamame. Excellent!

Took a couple liberties with the recipe . . . unable to find fresh spinach in this little Mexican village so had to do without. Also, I used left over pork loin roast so skipped the marinade; used all the sauce on the stir fry and it was the perfect amount! I did use the rice noodles. Other than that followed your directions and it was wonderful! We really loved the sauce!
