This recipe was great, I do think next time I will omit the carrots though... they just tasted out of place. I am going to try it with water chestnuts, brocolli and sugar snap peas! Yummmm. Oh and I added an xtra Tbs teriyaki sauce and a few extra squirts of dressing...

Allright, I have to admit. As written, this recipe was 3 stars for us: good but missing something. We added about a tablespoon or so more salad dressing to each bowl, and that pushed it up to 4 stars. Without the extra dressing, this noodle bowl was good with still-crunchy vegetables that tasted like what they were supposed to taste like, meat that was not overcooked (although I could have done with a little less), and just enough sauce to coat the noodles and give them that oily/slightly sticky character they get in Asian restaurants. Unfortunately that was all the sauce was able to do, so this ended up slightly dry for us. With the additional dressing, though it was great! Thank you for posting, made for Photo Tag.
