An Asian style dish. Great flavours and we did this one in just over 15 minutes
As usual I got everything ready. All utensils and ingredients lined up and Pans on stove
Plus a jug of boiling water ready to cook the Noodles
Be aware All this preparation actually adds 5 minutes or so to the time
But we did well I think
