“We loved the recipe, but added shredded cabbage and half a sweet onion to it.The Shiitake mushroom gives it a unique flavor and was a hit with my family.This one’s a keeper!!!Four stars because we added more stuff to it.”
“This was great. Although I didn’t cook it quite like stated. I used regular spagetti noodles and cooked them as usual.I scrambled 1/2 cup of egg beaters in 1 t olive oil.Then I stirfried button mushrooms, pea pods, green peppers and scallions in another 1 t of olive oil. I used 1/2 t of powdered ginger and 1/8 t of cayanne pepper.I then added the noodles and poured in the soy sauce. DH and DD loved it. Thanks for the great recipe.”
