Preparation
Chef’s notes
¹ Feel free to substitute in your favorite kind of noodles (such as rice, soba, ramen, udon noodles, or even plain spaghetti) if you prefer.
² I use my food processor with the grater attachment to grate vegetables quickly. But a hand grater would also work well!
This recipe would also be delicious with cooked chicken, steak, pork, shrimp or tofu added in.
