Donny's Asian Noodles

Submitted by Lois M

"This dish is a great way of using up leftovers, and is very versatile re: what meat/fish you use. My friend Donny made these for me and I loved them, I think the recipe originated in one of the Company's coming cookbooks, but both Donny & I have adjusted some stuff to our taste. Great pot luck addition."

I have had this saved for the longest time and finally made it. It is terrific! After reading all the reviews, I used 2 cups chicken, a box of fresh stir fry veggies and a large onion. I also used only about 3/4 of the cooked pasta. It really is delicious and easy!! I will be making again and again! Lois, thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Another of those recipes that has seen to many a making - but still needing a review. My well worn copy tells me I've been making this recipe since September 2004. Love this recipe, so easy - so good. Other then using less of the cayenne I make as posted. I think my favorite additions are chicken and shrimp. Often make chicken breast with this recipe in mind - as well as keeping shrimp on hand in freezer to add to the noodles. Thank you Lois and thanks to Donny for sharing a recipe that has become an all time favorite at our house.

My lips are still on fire from this one! This was really good. I wanted to make this a main course, and I didn't want to make a side vegi dish, so, I threw in some scallops as well half of a mixed bag of frozen "stir fry" vegis. The result was fantastic! Next time I might add only 3/4 tsp. cayenne. Thanks!
