    I have made this on more than one occasion so far and shall continue to do so! The flavours are fab. I have made it as an evening meal adding chill and warming the whole dish up in a pan. I omitted the avocado and used peas insead - yummy!!!!

    We loved it - added some dried chilli to a little oil in a wok once the noodles were nearly done and tossed everything (apart from the avocado) with some added coriander....lovely

    Yum yum yum - I loved this recipe and intend on making on many more occasions for everybody I know. So quick and easy as well. My partner doesn't eat avocado so I made him a quick prawn curry which used the left over coconut milk and prawns.

    As per previous reviews, I warmed this up which I think was much nicer. Added coriander and some sweet chilli sauce on top - delicious!

    I found this really bland and watery. Needed a lot more oomph!

    I make this a lot but the dressing does need something extra - I add a tablespoon of fish sauce and a teaspoon of caster sugar to balance out the flavours and make it a bit more authentically asian. Chopped coriander and spring onions and a little bit of chilli are essential too.
