Notes

If you want a gluten-free version, use tamari and gluten-free noodles.
If you want to make it healthier, add veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.
You can use shrimp, tofu, or beef instead of chicken.
After draining, toss the noodles with oil to keep them from sticking.
For a richer sauce, add more cornstarch or let it simmer for longer.

Changes

Vegetarian Option: Use tofu or a blend of your favorite vegetables instead of chicken.
For more heat, add more red chili flakes or sriracha sauce.
Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce to make it creamy and nutty.
Different Types of Noodles: Use udon, soba, or spaghetti noodles, depending on what you have and what you want.

Keeping and warming up

Storage: Put leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to three days.
To reheat, put the food in a skillet over medium heat and heat it until it is warm all the way through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to thin it down.
