Wow, the spicy mixture in this dish tastes almost exactly like the spice packets that come with Ramen noodles. Seriously, it could be a copycat. I enjoyed it overall, and it was a nice change of pace from the usual rice that you'd serve with Indian food.

These was a good dish. I didn't find that I needed the fresh chili, just stuck with the heat from my curry powder, which was just right for us. I think I would have liked this a bit more if it used fresh garlic, but in a pinch this works quite well. The sauce consistency was good, the only flavour I found lacking was the salt...the tsp of soy didn't go very far on the amount of noodles, of course that's just personal preference and easily adjusted. It was great with fresh cilantro on top. Made for ZWT6! Thanks WiGal. My dinner guests thought this was a very tasty dish.

I used flake sea salt to taste in place of the soy sauce and skipped the red chili for DH. We both enjoyed this. It was quite tasty and a great relief from the Holiday excess. Thanks for sharing it. :D
