Tips and Tricks

Cooking the Chicken

Cut the chicken into thin, even strips to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get a nice sear.

Prepping the Veggies

Chop your veggies in advance so everything is ready to go. This will make the cooking process faster and smoother, especially on busy nights.

Adjusting the Spice

If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chili sauce. You can always add more later if you want a little kick.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it up in a pan with a splash of water or broth to keep the noodles from drying out.

Adding Extra Protein

If you want to add more protein, toss in some tofu or shrimp along with the chicken. Both options work great with the flavors in this dish.

Ingredient Substitutions

Whole Wheat Noodles

If you don’t have whole wheat noodles, you can use regular spaghetti, rice noodles, or even udon noodles. Any type of long noodle will work well with the sauce.

Chicken Thighs

If you prefer, you can substitute chicken breasts for the thighs. They’ll cook a bit faster, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. You could also use tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.

Bell Pepper

Feel free to swap the bell pepper with any other crunchy vegetable like carrots, broccoli, or snap peas. These will add a nice texture and work well with the sauce.

Rice Vinegar

If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar as an alternative. Just be aware that the flavor may be slightly different.

Dark Sesame Oil

If you’re out of sesame oil, a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil will work. However, the sesame oil adds a distinct flavor, so try not to skip it if possible.

Cilantro

For those who don’t like cilantro, fresh parsley or green onions can make a great alternative for that final touch of freshness.

Hoisin Sauce

If hoisin sauce isn’t available, you can mix soy sauce with a little bit of sugar and peanut butter to mimic the sweet and savory flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Steamed Vegetables

Pair this dish with a side of steamed broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy for extra greens and a satisfying crunch.

Light Soup

A light miso soup or a simple broth-based soup would complement the flavors of the stir-fry without being too heavy.

Spring Rolls

For a fun and easy appetizer, serve this stir-fry with fresh spring rolls filled with veggies and a dipping sauce. It adds a nice contrast to the warm noodles.

Crusty Bread

While it’s not traditional, serving a side of crusty bread can be a great way to soak up any extra sauce from the dish.

Iced Green Tea

A refreshing iced green tea would be a light and healthy drink option to balance the savory and slightly spicy flavors of the stir-fry.
