Quick, easy and flexible. I used broccoli instead of beans and spring onion instead of the brown. Also had different noodles. Hubby was very happy and we will make again.

This is SO good! Quick and simple and super tasty. I use store cupboard pkt singapore noodles that just need heating with boiling water. It’s a go-to quick dinner for us. Sometimes substitute beef or chicken mince and add quite a bit of vege like sliced green capsicum and green beans.

I doubled this and made it with chicken instead of pork. It came together quickly. I’ll definitely make it again. I had some trouble mixing everything to get evening distribution of noodles, beans, and meat, but that may be easier with the intended recipe size.

This was a tasty dish. I used frozen lo mein noodles from HMart and they worked well. It had a little kick but I would up the sambal oelek next time.

This is insanely good for something you can make in 15 minutes. I used fresh “Asian noodles” from the Asian grocery. Sort of a square cut wheat noodle. You could riff on this so easily.

Very tasty and simple. I suggest doubling the sauce if you like ewey-goey.

This is as delicious as all the notes say it is. I used ground chicken, linguine (16oz), doubled the sauce. Cooked in my wok. Huge hit. My second recipe from this book, and both have been wonderful.

Delicious!!! I doubled the recipe and used Udon noodles. I’ll be making this often!

I doubled the recipe to serve three. This is a super tasty dish and very quick to make. We like spicy so I increased the Sambal and that was perfect for us. I loved charring the green beans in the cast iron skillet first. It gave the dish a deep smoky flavor that was lovely with the caramelized pork. Next time I will use my largest cast iron to better accommodate the double recipe.

Delicious recipe - I could see making this regularly.

Love this recipe. Subbed pork mince for thinly sliced pork belly rashers. Used 180g dried noodles. Didn't have fresh green beans so used frozen and also added some mushrooms. I like the suggestion in one of the other notes to add cabbage and will do that next time. I doubled the sauce except only used 2 tspns sambal due to a heat intolerant husband and this was perfect. I ended up adding a splash more kecap manis and oyster sauce in the pan and also added 1/2 cup chicken stock and the dried noodles really sucked up all the moisture. Enough left over for a second meal for one.

Easy. Doubled it and used Twin Marquis lo mein noodles. Really good!

We loved this spicy bowl. I replaced the green beans with broccoli and included sliced red & yellow peppers and added peas + Thai basil near the end. I had to use sriracha in place of the sambal and I sprinkled the finished bowls with crushed Szechuan peppercorns and chopped cashews. My only (small) quibble is calling for 7 oz of pork...I have ground meat frozen in "logical" 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz & 24 oz portions and I'm pretty sure using 8 oz didn't cause any harm!

Quick, easy, delicious. I used less sambal oelek in deference to my son, but added sriracha to my portion. Increased the green beans, as is my way - could see adding red bell pepper or carrots.

I didn’t put have the right ingredients for the sauce so Inimprovised and it came out great. I doubled the recipe and the sauce but needed to add more. Still, my kids thought it was great lo me in and I used thin spaghetti. Would add shredded cabbage next time.
lizbot2000 on June 25, 2023

The best recipe in the book, which is saying a lot. We make this pretty much weekly at this point, and even my kids will eat it. Just bonkers delicious.
hbakke on April 03, 2023

Very easy and tasty. I went overboard with the sambal and it was a bit too spicy. I would taste as I go next time when adding the sambal to the sauce. I would make this again and add more veg.

Quick, easy and tasty, we loved this stir fry. We added some garlic chives because we had some from a friends garden. I also added a drop of Sichuan pepper oil because I love its numbing effect, the Silver Fox loved it as is.

This was a very easy straightforward delicious midweek dinner. Doubled recipe for four of us. Added a bunch of asparagus as didn’t have enough beans. Will make again.
