Cooked these tonight. Struggled with them being sloppy in the frying pan so I added some flour and a little cheese for extra flavour. This helped a lot.

We used rice noodles and added a bit of fish sauce, ginger and garlic for an Asian twist. Looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch today!
