“My husband and the boys (ages 5,3 & 1) LOVED this!!! I used cooked yakisoba noodles and heated them in boiling water with the asparagus. Didn't have green onions or tomatoes on hand, but was SO delicious!” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was so good, our whole family ate it, Nice to add a veggie to the mix. I omitted the tomato and cucumber and made a little extra sauce. I made brussels and bacon on the side ” — a cook, 5.0★
