Yakisoba (Japanese Spaghetti) 5 Ww Points

scarysheree's Note:

This was pulled from the ww community. It's a yummy favorite. Great to reheat for lunch. Great as a main dish. I sometimes add peanuts, shrimp, or other protein. Substitute veggies or pasta, or your personal favorites. Napa cabbage can be used instead of bok choy.

Made for Let's PARTY 2011 tag game and I am glad I did. We definately loved this quick and easy dish. I did use fresh snow peas for the frozen peas and added some pepper flakes for spice. Will make this again and I think I will add some shrimp like a previous reviewer did. Thank you for posting.

This recipe is really good, quick, simple and healthy! Love it! Gotta have the baby bok choy with it, and I used organic whole wheat udon noodles too and it was very filling. Will make again!

We LOVED this recipe. I was searching for a WW recipe and found this. Have to admit when I first read this was not sure that we'd like it but decided to try it any ways. I used a mix of both red and yellow sweet peppers and left out the mushrooms as mine had spoiled when I went to use them and added a sprinkling of crushed red pepper for spice. Other than that followed it exactly using spagetti for the noodles. Loved the spice of the sauce, it was so good and the final result was so fresh tasting and not to heavy for a hot day. Went together so fast and had all the ingrediants (expect for spoiled mushrooms) on hand so not only fast but easy. This is sure to be a fav in this house - thanks so much for posting.
