Hi Janet,
It was an Emeril recipe I found on Food Network. I was looking for something
to make to use some lemongrass I had picked up and chose this because I had
most of the ingredients on-hand. It came out pretty good. I cut the amount
of the sriracha sauce in half because of the audience I was playing to. It
was perfect for me but should have cut it in half again as it was still a
bit too intense for our friends (course they would have been happier with
something real bland any way. My fault for even choosing this dish for
them).

I also served this over cellophane noodles, which was just OK. I'm going to
try it over soba noodles or Jasmine rice next time.
