This was amazingly good! Note that since I'm a vegetarian, I used substitute chicken strips for the meat. Also, since I used this recipe for the Australian Bush Tucker ZWT 5 challenge, I picked it for the lemon myrtle but had to substitute lemon grass because, as far as I know, you can't get lemon myrtle in NYC. Also, instead of plum sauce I used hoisin, and instead of hokkien noodles (found in the refrigerator section I think, but not in my city at all) I used dried bean noodles, and had to add some water (about 1 1/2 cups) to get them hydrated and cooked. This turned out really, really well despite my substitutions. I'd make this again, hands down. My only complaint would be the leftover vegetables that I couldn't use (bell peppers, aka capsicum, and red cabbage). Thanks for this!
