Creole Crab Noodles
Description
Here's some flavorful fusion food for Mardi Gras! "Crab, and its old friends, the Holy Trinity, are a classic combo, and so it was no surprise they worked so well in an Asian-style rice noodle dish – an experiment gone right. Garnish with sliced green onion," says Chef John
