Reviews
“True to form, Bergy’s recipes never disappoint! LOVED this. We DID wait to put the chow mein noodles on top until the last 20-ish minutes, so they were nice & crisp. Great stuff. This is a keeper! Thx, Bergy!”
“Excellent recipe bergy. Highly recommended!”
“This was excellent. The only thing I’d do differently is leave off the noodles till time to eat it.The noodles got soggy when we reheated it. The only thing I did differently was to use finely shredded cabbage instead of sprouts. But it was great this way.”
