All in all very good. I added mushrooms and zuccini for a little variety and used chili paste instead of chili bean sauce and it was nice and spicy! I think I soaked the noodles too long so next time I'll be sure not to do that oh and I sliced the pork I had instead of 'grounding' it.<br/><br/>I also excluded the sugar as my husband is on a low-sugar diet.<br/><br/>I think we'll have it again!
