Notes

Bryan's Notes
The original recipe as written ended up being very noodle heavy, even though I added asparagus beyond the original ingredients. And I added more garlic and ginger than called for, and could barely taste it -- probably because of the over-abundance of noodles.
It's a very tasty, pleasant recipe, but next time I make it, I plan on using a lot more vegetables, and less noodles, for a better balance. Plus, some protein, such as shrimp (we're not vegetarians).
