I really enjoyed this! I used firm tofu in place of meat, fresh ginger instead of ground dried, and made a quick teriyaki sauce to cook everything in, I chose not to use the seasoning packet since the soy sauce is usually salty enough for us. Nice flavor, and great idea. I do think a few more veggies is better and will add additional next time. Thank you! Made for Unreviewed Asian Tag

This was quick to make once I gathered everything together. I left out the pork and used only two packages of the noodles, we really liked it, but next time we will increase the number of veggies.
