Cake Noodle take 1

 

This is what I made experimenting with cake noodle dishes. It is basically any meat, seafood and veggies that you like to eat together.  The key to this recipe is just the sauce mixture. Try adding anywhere from 3 or more ingredients. Make it crispy gau gee mein by adding some won ton on the top.

 After making this, I realized that it was great just to eat over rice or even boiled noodles. You give it a try and see what you think. Heavyn was the best critic for this dish, she said "awesome mom, you are awesome cook". lol
