This easy recipe takes only minutes to make and it a tasty & refreshing dinner. This noodles is my childhood in a bowl.I've been enjoying the flexibility and lovely sweet/salty flavors of this noodles for many years now and depending on my mood I add seasonal veggies ,eggs or any type of left over meat. But as it is a quick fix I prefer it plain.This recipe has been passed on from friend and I have made my adjustments - I expect you will too!

Method:
