We are very fond of Thai food - especially when the combination has all our favorite vegetables and of course the sesame oil and sambal oelek. Like BK used the Thai cellaphane noodles. Used one can of mandarin oranges (only had one on hand) Tasted great - looked marvellous served on a white platter. Definetely a company quality meal! Thank you we enjoyed.

We really enjoyed this tasty dish very much Diane. Loved the addition of the mandarins, basil, sesame oil and sambal oelek. What a spicy taste treat. We did add a little more of the sambal oelek to the dish. I used thai cellaphane noodles as I didn't have any ramen noodles. Thanks for sharing this dish that we will soon be sharing with family and friends.
