Tips

  • Do not overcook the noodles; cook them just until tender.
  • Prepare all ingredients (slice vegetables, cut chicken, measure sauce) before you start cooking.
  • Use medium-high heat to help vegetables stay crisp.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; use a large pan or wok for even cooking.
  • Add the soy sauce at the end and toss well for even coating.
  • You can add garlic or fresh ginger for extra flavor.
  • For a spicy version, add chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
