You never mention when to add spring onions
Hi 🙂 Add the spring onions with the cilantro and al dente pasta. I updated the recipe, thank you!
This was so good! My 1.5 year old and 4 year old daughters both scarfed it down! I just added shrimp right before adding in the noodles. Perfect, easy dinner! Thank you for sharing!
My family devoured these noodles! Definitely a keeper.
Yay, so happy you enjoyed this recipe! 🙂
