I bought fresh shanghai noodles and went looking for a recipe to try. I choose your recipe, and am so glad that I did, as I have made this recipe 3 times and have loved it each time. We enjoyed this dish exactly as written using pork, but also enjoyed it equally using chicken and shrimp. This delicious recipe is quick and easy to make with terrific results, great textures and lovely flavors. I did double all the seasonings, a personal preference only. Thank you for sharing this terrific recipe Olha, we enjoyed it very much.

Hmmm, tried this and oddly found it overly salty and not much else. The consistency was perfect, but not much flavor. I will try it again and add more chili paste or some ginger, and maybe other oriental types of seasonings. Did I do something wrong Olha? There's not that much soy sauce so I'm puzzled.
