  1. I can see how this makes a great comfort food. Love those noodles. I, too, wanted twice the sauce. I can't get the Chinese chives w/out a lot of hassle so I used scallions. The beef was terrific, well spiced and tender. Very, very good dish. I am confused about the amount of noodles though. Converted, the recipe calls for 21 ounces-that's a lot of noodles for 3 servings. I got by with 8 ounces and there's enough left for two more servings. I'm guessing the 21 ounces applies to fresh noodles and COOKED dry rice noodles.
     
  2. It was a dark and stormy night... so I didn't feel like traipsing out to find chinese chives- used scallions. Also, the grocery store was out of beansprouts so I subbed some sliced mushrooms. The whole thing tasted amazing! Served with some sriracha sauce for a delicious, comforting meal in one. Thanks!
     
  3. Wonderful, wonderful. What a great find this recipe is. I too made this with dried noodles but can't wait to try it again using fresh. I followed Hey Jude's comments and doubled the seasonings. This is a great chance for me to use my Chinese chives that I have growing in a pot on my kitchen window sill. A wonderful dish, Kitchen Maniac.
     
  4. Delicious!! I made this as written using dried rice noodles but will use fresh next time (would have used them this time but my store didn't get their delivery). Also, I doubled the seasoning amount because we like things 'soupy'. Add the optional Chinese chives, if you can get them, they really add a nice flavor. This is my favorite dish at our local Chinese restaurant and I'm so happy that I can now make it at home. Thanks so much KitchenManiac, you've done it again! Thanks for posting this recipe.
