Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Noodles were a bit oily - would cut back the cooking oil a bit if I make again.

    I have prepared this dish at least 4 times to date--I just love it. With leftover greens it is a quick, delicious meal in a bowl. I did cut back the cooking oil to 1 Tbsp, and the chili oil WAY back to 1/2 TBSP as mine is so EXTREMELY spicy!!!

    I made this with Cantonese egg noodles shaped as single serving nests- they did not stay that way when cooked. Made the sauce as written though I cut way down on the chile- 1/2 tsp per person- could have been spicier; next time I will use less soy sauce and more noodle water to decrease the saltiness.
