I thought this dish was pretty good. It was a little salty for my taste, but I may have stubbed my toe a little on the soy sauce. I thought I had followed the directions 100%, but I'm thinking I messed up somewhere. Overall, this was a good dish, my husband loves Chinese takeout and he thought it was a good substitute. I'll have to play around with it some more to figure out what happened!

We all loved this!! The flavor is so good. I threw in some garlic, broccoli, and mushrooms and a tiny bit more soy sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!!

Wanted to re-review. Made this tonight with chicken and it was SO good! I threw some boneless tenders in the oven drizzled with a bit of olive oil and salt n pepper. (Already had this going before I knew what dinner would be..lol) SO, once cooked I cut them up and tossed with some sesame oil. I only had 1 package of oriental noodles, so we used one chicken packet as well. I had cabbage that needed using, so just chopped that up and used it. I did throw in a garlic clove when cooking the noodles too. We all loved it!!
