    • If you look at the Asian section of your grocery store, you will find several kinds of noodles. You can use any you like in this dish.

    • If you don’t want to buy special noodles or don’t have time for a trip to the store, use spaghetti or fettuccine noodles. Ramen noodles from a soup packet work great too. Simply cook and toss with the sauce.
