Looks delicious. I'd like to try it this coming weekend. I'll have to go to Asda for shopping. I doubt I'll get the yellow noodles there though. Where can I get such noodles in the UK? Can I replace it with other types of noodles?
Hello Jacqueline. I remember during my studying years in UK, I bought yellow noodles from Tesco and ASDA. If you can't find yellow noodles, you can replace it with spaghetti. Spaghetti taste equally delicious. Enjoy!
