Liked it! If you haven't tried shirataki (tofu and yam) noodles...you'll be happily surprised! They taste great and are low in carbs and calories. I used pork instead of beef and wasn't skilled enough to get it paper thin. This is a fast and easy recipe, with good flavor if you like soy sauce but VERY salty, even using light soy. I think some water or low sodium broth mixed in the sauce would help cut down on the saltiness.
