    I tried this dish minus the brown rice. Can you say "to die for" and nutritous to boot! The best and most flavorable meal for a high protein, low fat, and low carb diet. Bless you! - 10/17/10

    Reminds me of the "Singapore" Chinese noodle dish where curry is combined with soy sauce. I don't mean to change posted recipes, but I might like this with WW or healthy Barilla noodles mixed in-- rather than on rice. - 12/28/08
