My elderly mother, who is a diabetic, absolutely loves this dish. I make it with soba noodles whenever I can. Very versatile-can use different veggies. We like to add bean sprouts. Gayle, Truckee, CA	8 weeks 3 days ago
I didn't like this. at all. The flavor was "meh" at best. I think the number one bad idea was whole spaghetti. It just made the whole thing inauthentic. I served it. The kids and hubby picked at it. I threw it out. Jac, Houston, TX	8 weeks 3 days ago
I thought this was great and so quick and easy to make! I added a bunch of blanched matchstick carrots, omitted the sesame seeds and warmed everything slightly in a pan since it was a cold day. Also squeezed fresh limes over to taste and used a sprinkling of ground red pepper since I didn't have crushed. Love the sesame/ lime flavor! Susanna, Austin, TX	8 weeks 3 days ago
I make this recipe over and over again, and have shared it with friends and family. I add shredded carrot, cabbage, broccoli, what ever I have on hand in the refrigerator and sometimes shrimp. Be sure to use the "lite" soy sauce - regular is too salty. Anonymous, Tampa, FL	8 weeks 3 days ago
Awesome dish although I did tweak it, no crushed pepper and added about a Tablespoon of garlic. Yummy! Krissy, Mchenry, IL	8 weeks 3 days ago
I thought was good, not as good as I expected. Better the next day and I added a bit of feta cheese the next day to give a different flavor. Seems like it is missing something. Julia	8 weeks 3 days ago
It was excellent! My only suggestion would be to leave the crushed red pepper on the side because it can make the dish very spicy and some of my kids would not eat it, while others enjoyed the spicy! Erin, Dallas, TX	8 weeks 3 days ago
Picture looks good, but it did NOT taste good. Too much sesame oil flavor. I will not make again. RE, Tulsa, OK	8 weeks 3 days ago
They use buckwheat noodles for this in Korea. It's always better the second day because it gives the seasonings time to soak in the noodles. Anonymous, Baton Rouge, LA	8 weeks 3 days ago
I reduced the amount of soy and added ginger, garlic, and cane sugar to the recipe as someone suggested. I sauteed the veggies (omitting the peas altogether) in the liquid and added warm noodles to the sauce and served as a warm side. Yum! I will definitely make this again. Ashley	8 weeks 3 days ago
