It was delicious! I used carrots, broccoli stems cut very thin, eggs, garlic, scallops, crushed red peppers, soy sauce and salt & pepper...that's it and it was very simple to make.

I soak mine in broth and that helps boost the flavor quite a bit. I also cook my veggies and meat down first and use the added moisture from that to add flavor.

I love this recipe. I tweaked it a bit to beef it up. Once cooked, my 8 oz of rice noodles gave me a lot more than I expected. I doubled the veggies, tripled the sauce, and added some crushed red pepper.

Disgusting! I finally decided to try this recipe and it doesn’t even taste close to what you get at a Chinese restaurant! My daughter took a bite and started gagging.... never again
