    Love it and has now become my go to when I have an upset stomach minus the fried onions and mushrooms because I'm not too fond of them. I also add a pack of rice noodles to give it a little more sustenance.

    I left out the fried onion strips, because I was going for a more healthy-non fried approach, and I have to admit while it smelled horridly of onions, the taste was very light, and crisp, I would make this again. :)

    I'm cooking this recipe right now, but I'm not sure if you're supposed to cook the mushrooms first before adding or not, I want to say no, because they look simply added in the picture... I hope this comes out right >.<

    Looks great! I have to admit that when I read the ingredients I wondered where a cup of flour might come in.... What a great idea to fry the slices. Will try soon.
