Excellent Recipe - made it 3 times now. Last time we cooked 6 servings for 4 people and there were no left overs. Used Egg noodle Chow Mien, added 6 large coarsely chopped white mushrooms (cooked with onions and peppers), and substituted 1.5 tsp of sweet chili sauce for the dried chili peppers. I skipped the peanuts by exchanging them for whole cashews which I added to the bowl of reserved shrimp and pork, and did not return the cooked shrimp & pork & cashews until the last 2 minutes of the 7 minute noodle warm up. Served with a cucumber tomato salad (both very finely chopped) with a small amount of rice vinegar and sugar. We all loved the final result
Very tasty! Definitely will make this again!
A real hit and versatile.
