Fantastic! Just had this for dinner tonight and it really hit the spot! I had to make a couple of alterations, I couldn't find any cilantro with intact roots so I just had to use stems. Also, I had to use tamari sauce to be gluten-free. I doubled the noodles and liquid ingredients in order to have some planned leftovers. I can hardly wait for lunch tomorrow.

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question.
I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc.
