User comments
Extras added Small packet of Chinese meatballs cooked separately 2 handful's of bean sprouts I doubled the recipe and used fresh shiitake mushrooms available from Asian shops or Woolworths. My 14 year old boy had 2 bowels full and the rest disappeared in less than 30 minutes. This is a great recipe base. Next time I am going to add cooked chicken instead of the meatballs and I may try some seafood later. Rating Excellent 9.5 out of 10
