I love buttered egg noodles, and I love Asian food, so I HAD to try this recipe! The noodles were very good, with a nice balance of sweet and savory, but I felt the butter was a bit too much. Next time, I'll reduce the butter by 1 T or so... I also subbed a combination of chives and sweet onion (diced very finely) for the scallion as I realized too late that I was out!

My family was split on this one...the girls voted 4 stars, while the boys voted this recipe 5 stars. Guess we'll just chalk it up to personal taste differences. This recipe was easy enough to make and I even doubled it without any trouble. I used Vidalia onion in this recipe as I just love them. Thanks so much for a great side dish!

This was enjoyed by myself and my two daughters. One LOVES the Steamy Kitchen Blog, so that made it even better I think! It was a nice change from other pasta recipes. I expected it to be sweeter with the brown sugar, but I guess the other ingredients balance it out. It was unique but yummy! Easy to prepare - next time I'll double it! I did cut the butter to about 2 T and it was plenty. Thanks for sharing!
