was delish, made it tonight!
So, we've just made this, and it yielded an absolute mountain of food even with 350g of chicken rather than 500g, and no mushrooms at all. In fact, I would guess that this would serve at least eight ... it does smell awesome, though.
Amazing recipie! Its a favorite at our house, we've been using it since it was in a HFG issue about a year ago. Its easy to make a vegitarian version too. Thanks HFG!
Very tasty, we didn't use mushrooms and next time I think I'd try adding grated carrot with the cabbage to add more vegies to the dish.
Nice and spicy (with chilli) but I felt there were too any noodles. Next time I will halve them.
Really tasty. I used about 3/4 of the noodles, and also doubled the ingredients for the marinate. Next time I would use less noodles and use more cabbage, probably carrot would be really good as well. Also I would use more ginger in it. Toasting the sesame seeds works really well.
Delicious flavours - a bit too much for 2 people!
