Made this tonight and it was delish! Used broccoli in place of squash and added a tsp of sugar to the sauce mixture. Fantastic, will make again.

I loved it! I was really excited that my husband liked it. My husband is a meat and potatoes man. We have been married for 27 years and the thought of cooking the same ole thing all the time made me not want to cook. I am finally convincing him that other foods really taste good! FINALLY! There may be hope yet! One thing I would like to say to people about the Saba noodles. If you like Asian food a lot, it is worth it to go to a shop that sells,(I know they make them in Japan, they may make them in other countries in Asia) Asian foods and get them. They are REALLY good. There are chefs in Japan that study the art of making them for years. They are that important.
