  1. I think Rachel Ray should do this one on her 30 minute meal show, because this is such a quick dish to prepare, great weeknight meal. The sauce is much simpler than many other Asian noodle dishes, which was nice...had everything on hand (and usually would). I went a little lighter on the ac vinegar, just personal preference, but otherwise I thought it was great as-is. The walnuts were an unusual touch, could easily be subbed if you're not a walnut fan. I used some brown rice spag noodles in place of vermicelli which worked out really well. Thanks JB! ZWT6
