Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I made this with zucchini and carrots in lieu of broccoli (still used shiitakes and peppers). Also added Thai garlic chili paste at the end for heat. So delicious – will definitely make again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Patty!
I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious. I didn’t have broccoli so added carrots and celery. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Hello Carolyn, we’re glad that you liked the results! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us.
I’m in Uk. Is ketchup, tomato ketchup as that’s where your link takes me. Someone mentioned it’s a curry sauce ?
Hi N, yes, its tomato ketchup, we used the exact one the recipe links to. I hope that helps.
A very good easy and economical noodle recipe. Yes do use normal soy sauce if you can.
I can’t eat broccoli due to the high Vitamin K content. Can green beans be substituted for it? Thanks in advance!
Hi Tracy! You can experiment and use different veggies in this. I hope you love it!
This recipe is too high in Sodium and cholesterol for me…..sure it tastes wonderful!
I made this for dinner it was easy and good!! Couldn’t find te rienoidles, used jasmine rice, good!! Thank you!!
You’re most welcome! We’re so glad that you enjoyed it for dinner.
Hi! Can I make the chicken and veggies ahead of time, and then put everything together with the noodles before serving?
Hi Lily, we prefer to make the recipe as written, but I imagine that may work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
So quick and delicious. Everyone loved. Used pork instead of chicken.
Hi Jenifer! That’s great. I’m so glad it was enjoyed.
found the recipe was quite oversalted… didnt know what do do so had to give it a little rinse, then my noodles became soggy. wouldnt do it again. it had too much ginger taste as well.
Hi Evelino, I haven’t had that experience but we do add salt and pepper to taste in this recipe. It sounds like too much salt was added. Also, it can seem salty if the proportion of noodles was reduced compared to what was called for in the recipe. I hope that is helpful.
Super quick and easy; perfect for a weeknight meal! I added some fish sauce to the sauce mixture and omitted the mushrooms (didn’t have any). I like others’ suggestions to add chili paste to give it s kick. As written, this is a great family meal (child friendly) and I personally didn’t think the ketchup was pronounced.
Hi Brittany! Thank you for sharing that with us! I’m glad you love the recipe.
It’s okay. I found the sauce was quite bland. I even added some heat to it. Not something I would make again.
Hi Rose, if it seemed bland it could be due to using too much noodles which can quickly overwhelm the dish and make it seem bland.
I cannot rave enough about this amazing recipe! I have made this several times and I’m in love! The sauce is delicious and it all comes together beautifully! It’s a must try!
Hi Angela! That’s wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing.
This is a good recipe, and wonderful for feeding many people on a budget. I doubled the sauce recipe because I like saucy noodles, and I like a bit of spice so in addition to a drizzle of sesame oil, I also added a small amount of Chili oil. Natasha, a number of my favourite go-to recipes are from you, thank you for another good one!
Sounds great! I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try. Thanks for sharing!
We like a bit of spice, so we did 1/2 ketchup and 1/2 a sweet and spicy sauce. We did double the sauce, it was little too much sauce then, but I think the original amount may be a little short, so I will go 1.5 on the sauce next time. We used brown rice noodles for extra protein and added in celery and extra peppers and broccoli. My family went nuts for it. A new family favorite!
Great to hear that the recipe was a huge hit!
I substitute the ketchup with Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce for the same reason. I think it works well with the recipe. Give it a try!
Catch-up weirds me out a little bit, too. What about adding hoisin sauce in place of the catchup and a little bit of garlic. I think this would give any more Asian flair.
Hi Gary, the ketchup wasn’t really pronounced in taste for us – I wouldn’t know it was there unless I made it.
Made this recipe tonight and it was good! After reading the reviews, I subbed Thai garlic chili sauce for the ketchup, which also added a nice bit of spice. I weighed out the 12oz of noodles and in my opinion it was just way too many noodles (to the point where I had to add 50% more sauce), and it made way more than 4 servings. It was really tasty but we’ll have leftovers for days!! Just be aware and add more sauce OR fewer noodles.
This has got to be the best stir fry recipe I’ve ever tried! In the past, I have added every vegetable I have on hand. I was skeptical due to the few simple ingredients. Much to my surprise, I was able to identify each and every ingredient as I tasted it! Simple yet so very delicious. Thank you for this easy recipe. P. S I make it weekly!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Love your recipes, just made this one and it’s delicious ! 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Fonda!
Any idea of how many carbs, if I don’t add the noodles? Can I use Xanthan Gum in place of corn starch? I’m diabetic and this looks so yummy! I just need to be able to cook it in a way that works for me. Thanks!
Hi Cheryl, I do not have the nutrition facts for this recipe without noodles. This recipe uses 12 ounces of rice noodles, you might be able to find a close estimate with a quick google search of what 12ounce of rice noodles would be. Then subtract that from the total carbohydrates for this recipe. It serves 4. I hope that helps.
For the people who said the recipe turned out bland and tasteless… I added some teriyaki sauce and some honey and it tasted AMAZING. Also instead of using ketchup, use tomato sauce. I will definitely make this meal again!
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Mary!
Very bland Filling but tasteless.
If using the directions again will add onion, garlic , beef up the ginger . Possibly a spiced rub on the chicken- cayenne,, thyme. Veg snow peas rather than z broccoli. With respect-
It’s a Friday night, don’t want to cook & don’t have $ to drop on take out for 4 so I started searching for something different. I stumbled onto this site, read the recipe & alot of the comments & am SO glad I made this. My family LOVES this. I doubled the recipe for the sauce and veggies and made a large amount of rice noodles for tomorrow lunch leftovers. I added minced garlic & 1T of ground ginger – OMGosh! This was fantastic. As for those that said it wasn’t good and gave it crappy ratings, obviously you didn’t follow the directions or can’t cook, because this is damn delicious. Great recipe & new follower. Yay Natasha!!!
I’m so happy you discovered our blog. Welcome, Michelle! 🙂 I’m so glad this was a hit with your family! Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback!
thanks michelle I did the same thing and it was delicous and so easy to make, I also doubled the recipe and it was great
Natasha usually has great recipes, but this is just horrible. I 100% followed all the instructions, used the exact same ingridients. The sauce is not even enough to cover quarter of the pasta. Now, I had to throw the whole thing out.
Guys, try something else, Natasha has great meals on her website, just avoid this dish at all cost. haha
Hi Cody, it sounds like maybe you used too much pasta? I have made this many times and haven’t had that experience but if using too much noodles (or overcooking noodles), it could seem like not enough sauce.
I tried this recipe because of all of the positive reviews but I guess I should have read a few more.
The ketchup was a bad idea…I knew it before I started and I regretted adding it as soon as I tasted it. It’s pretty much all I can taste in the sauce.
I feel like this recipe would be great for kids to try something different that doesn’t have strong flavors to it. As a meal for myself and my fiancé, it was very bland and like I said before, all I could taste was the ketchup.
The time it took to make this was awesome! Just wish the sauce was different and more flavorful. I am not an experienced enough cook to know what can be added instead of the ketchup but to me that ruined the dish.
Hi Lauren, the ketchup wasn’t really pronounced in taste for us – I wouldn’t know it was there unless I made it. Did you possibly miss-measure or change anything else about the sauce?
Did not like this one at all. Too ketchup-y. This is the first time i tried rice noodles, not a fan of those. Looked good, but very disappointed that it did not work out for us after reading all the good reviews/
What can you substitute for the Green & Red bell pepper? I have a food aversion to these ingredients.
Hi Cybil, you could use bell pepper or snap peas instead or even asparagus.
Hello Cybil, I saw this comment at the bottom of the recipe “Since I didn’t have any peppers on hand I used asparagus and drizzled a little toasted sesame oil over the vegetable mix” I hope that helps.
Fantastic recipe! We omitted the mushrooms, added more broccoli, and seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and cooked it with an absurd amount of garlic for a delicious garlic chicken. It went SO well with the sauce. This will definitely be a recipe we will make again and again.
Glad to know that you enjoyed this recipe, M! Thank you for the review.
My husband and I liked this recipe. I did add carrots because we like more vegetables in our meals. I followed the recipe to a tee. I must say the ketchup (not a fan) through me off because it was a stir fry which
reminds me immediately that it is asian, but I added it anyway. We like a little more spice to our meals, so I added sriracha at the end. Over all, it was a decent recipe.
Good to know that you and your family enjoyed this recipe, Candice. Thanks for sharing that with us!
Instead of seasoning the one pound of raw chicken with salt and pepper, I recommend marinating it for 15 minutes in a mixture of 4 tsp Soy Sauce, 2 tsp Corn Starch, and ½ tsp Roasted Sesame Oil.
Thank you for your suggestion, Ben. That is so useful and we appreciate it.
Love this recipe. We add a few more veggies but love simple sauce. Very easy. Actually Natasha is my “go to” site
Aaw love that! Thank you for always trusting my recipes, Aaron.
Bland and boring. Wouldn’t make again. It’s okay if you just want to get some food into you
Hi Lindsay, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like it. This is normally a very popular recipe. Maybe it could be due to substituting any ingredients?
Can I substitute pork for chicken? That’s all I have defrosted 🤪
Hi Galina, I imagine that will work. Please share with us how it goes if you try that.
Hi can I double this recipe?
Hi Kathy! You sure can! Keep in mind it will take longer to prepare with more ingredients. I hope you love it!
This was excellent. Very tasty. Followed the recipe but also added some crushed red pepper to get a little spice. What I missed though is garlic, so I’m going to add that next time and maybe an onion too….
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Haven’t tried this yet. It sounds too bland, so I will NOT use ketchup but add sriracha and/or chopped Kimchi. Will post a report soon!
Sounds good! Please share with us how it turns out.
I was weirded out by the Ketchup too and I like your suggestion to use Siracha instead!
This was not great at all, no spices or seasoning. Tasted like plain noodles and salt.
This normally is quite flavorful with the seasonings and sauces in the recipe. Consider if maybe an ingredient was skipped or substituted? This is a fairly simple recipe so every ingredient is important.
This is so good, quick, and easy I made it twice in a week. Had to substitute what I had on hand, so edamame and peas and bell pepper, worked fine, and ground ginger. I will be checking out more recipes on your site. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Janet! We love quick and easy recipes around here, and I’m glad you enjoyed it also!
I need the reasoning behing the ketchup… its throwing me off. Why ketchup what does it replace in an original recipe?
Hi Laura, this has been a very popular recipe for us – feel free to try another substitute ingredient. Others shared they replaced ketchup with honey and liked it too.
I made this recipe for dinner tonight. I added some matchstick carrots and some chopped cabbage. It was delicious and easy!I will definitely add this this dish to our menu!
Hello Sue, great to hear that you enjoyed this recipe for dinner! I hope you’ll also love all the other recipes that you will try.
I made this for dinner yesterday evening and it was delicious. Thank you for the great recipe! I will definitely be making this often.
You’re very welcome, Dee. I’m glad you loved it!
Can I use the rice noodles that say to put in bowl, cover with boiling water and sit for 3 minutes
Hi Diane, I haven’t tested this recipe with those, but I imagine that should work. You may need to adjust how early you add the noodles, so they don’t over cook.
This recipe was soooo good, and easy to assemble. No more take out at our house!!!!
Awesome! I’m so happy to hear that you loved it, Joy.
Наташа. We made this one a couple of nights ago, and it tasted sooo good. I though I was in a Thai restaurant.
Спасибо
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Surprisingly good even though the ingredients are so simple! I added some chopped garlic with the ginger, and just used frozen stir fry veggies, it came out soo good, even though I have no experience cooking Asian food. Definitely want to make this again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Kala! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Trying this one tonight!
Sounds like a great plan. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
If you only have low sodium soy – will it make that much of a difference in the recipe?
Hi Linda, If using low sodium soy sauce or broth, be sure to season to taste with salt, or the recipe will be lacking in flavor.
Was lovely and I could get all the ingredients in the uk too. Family favourite !
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi Natasha! What’s a good substitute for the ketchup in the sauce?
Hi Malak, I always use ketchup but if you experiment with anything else, please let me know how it goes.
Hi Natasha, Let me say first that my husband and I love every recipe of your that we have tried. We have tried ALOT of them. I plan on making your Chicken Stir Fry for dinner tonight. I am being very careful on what I eat and the amount of calories I eat a day. Do you know what app or website to use to figure out the nutritional value? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and respond.
Hi Becky, I added a nutrition label to the recipe which will give you a good idea. Also, I like to use MyFitnessPal to calculate nutrition info.
Sriracha
Plum sauce works well especially in sweet and sour type dishes.
Hi Natasha! my mom and i are currently making this recipe! I hope it tastes as delicious as your other recipes!!
I hope you love this reicpe!
Made this tonight and it was delicious! I substituted the mushroom for zucchini and it was so easy!
That’s a great substitute, thanks for sharing that with us! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Scarlett.
Great recipe. Instructions so clear n easy to follow. Thank you it was amazing just added green chilli other then that was perfect recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi Natasha! I was wondering if I could use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth? This recipe looks delicious!
Hi Nitasha, the vegetable broth will work fine.
Super easy and delicious!
Thank you, Terri!
Very good, My husband and I both enjoyed it. I boiled my chicken because all I had in the house was frozen chicken breast. I just spiced up the broth and used it in the sauce. I also used a little extra fresh ginger and green onions. Will make this again.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing that with us, Sami. I hope you and your husband will love every recipe that you will try.
I tried this recipe, and I love it, it’s very easy and quick to do! And taste amazing! I added one green chilly for spice, great combination!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your great comments and feedback, Kristine.
Tried it for the first time. I used a bag of Asian frozen mix just to see if we would like it. I must say it tasted great with no over powering ingredients in the sauce. I also used chicken tenders from the market and they worked out great.
So nice to know that, Anthony. I’m glad you loved this recipe and thanks for sharing that with us!
We all really liked it, and will make it again. In our case, by using gluten free soy sauce, I can make it easily for my daughter with celiac disease. Only note: I thought the chicken needed to be browned, so I overcooked it. Won’t be a problem next time!
So nice to hear that you liked this recipe using your substitute. Thanks for sharing that with us, Beth!
My family loved this dish. I just added onions instead of mushrooms since my kids are not big fans of them. Will plan to make more sauce for the leftovers. Thank you, Natasha!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Olya! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Very nice recept
It was amazing, I replaced the ketchup with hot sauce because adding tomato sauce didn’t feel right, other then that its a great recipe, and my siblings have been asking me to make it again.
I was wondering what the nutritional value was for this recipe? and THANK YOU!!!
Awesome, I should try that next time! Haven’t added the nutritional value for this recipe but thanks for suggesting that.
Thank you for the recipe!! This is the first time for me to cook with rice noodles. You’re right. This is such a quick, easy and delicious meal to prepare ☺ Thank you again!
You are so welcome! I am so glad you tried and liked this recipe.
thank you i love the chicken stir you became my number one chef you beat out chef ramsey
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
I made this the other night and it was so good! Added a little more ginger because I love ginger! My family loved it, nice and light and I love rice noodles and don’t use them much – yum! It was a little dry for leftovers so maybe would double batch the sauce and save for the reheat. Instead I used some store PF Chang’s Kung Pao on it for a whole different Flavor – fantastic!
Hello Kari, thank you for sharing your experience with us. That’s a good idea to double the sauce if you would be saving some for reheat. I am so glad that you loved this recipe!
I made this last night for dinner. It was a HUGE hit! Thankfully I had doubled the recipe so had enough for some left overs for lunch today. I added a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce that really elevated the taste and gave it a bite of heat (not too much, hubby doesn’t like spicy). You know it’s good when your 23 & 24 year old are like, “Mom, this is amazing!”
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Tried this tonight and was well impressed The only thing I did different was to add some chilli flakes for heat . Will make many more times thank you
Awesome! That’s also a good suggestion if you want to spice it up. Thanks for your good feedback!
This is my families favorite go to recipe – it’s so easy and comes out perfect every time. My 9 year old son asks for this repeatedly. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome Erika! Thank you for that amazing review!
I discovered an issue after I cooked it all up. The taste didn’t seem quite right and just the flavours didn’t seem to work together. I’m guessing it’s a cultural thing as when I’ve now clicked on your link for ketchup it has gone to a curry sauce where in the UK we’d take that to mean tomato sauce. So I put the wrong kind of ketchup in (it did seem odd – my bad for not checking). Just to let other people learn from my mistake.
Thank you for that feedback Brenda! We post photos of the ingredients we use in most of our recipe threads for guidance. I hope this review helps our UK readers.
I didn’t download recipe for the homemade Italian dressing you made and stored in Mason jar. Could you repost? Thank you.
Hi Sandra, we have the Homemade Italian Dressing recipe here. I hope you love it!
Truly is a 30 minuets meal and delicious. Thank you
Isn’t it the best?! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Love love love this! I just omitted the mushrooms, added some different veggies, doubled the sauce and added a bit of honey. My 2 year old even ate this, so it’s a big win in my book! Thank you Natasha!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
could have been a good recipe but why ketchup!? totally ruined the flavor and took away all its potential. there’s no ketchup in asian cuisine. very disappointed. just my opinion. ):
Hi Olivia, this has been a very popular recipe for us – did you possibly make any substitutions or changes to the sauce?
Ketchup is not a good ingredient….ruined the stir fry
Hi Carolina, maybe try a different brand? We love the combination but let me know if you test anything different.
Going to make this, this weekend, I know costco carries the noodles, and has anyone added celery and carrots, I wanted to add more veggies as I will have to omit shrooms (hubby and I aren’t fans) would like any suggestions, can’t be corn cuz it’s virtually impossible to find organic. Any suggestions welcome, thanks
I looked through the comments and didn’t see those but it should work! If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Hi there. I added some zucchini and carrots and it was great )
That’s so great! Thank you for sharing that Eva!
Love this recipe! Had been looking around for a good stir fry recipe and decided to try this one out. Simply amazing.
With the ‘sauce’ mixture I added 2 teaspoons of hoison sauce, and replaced the ketchup with honey.
I also added baby corn, carrots, mangetout and spring onions as I wanted to add more veg to the mix.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Thank you for sharing that with us, and for giving this recipe great feedback, Leanne. Good to know that you had used some substitute ingredients and that it all worked great!
Splendid recipe. Was wondering how to make best use of my wok noodles and came across this. I followed as per the same instructions and ingredients. I was a bit doubtful about my cooking as I was creating wok for the first time, but if you follow what’s mentioned above, it comes out really tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed eating it. I probably used a bit more of the noodles. Highly recommend to use this recipe 🙂 Thank you very much for sharing this.
Thank you for your excellent feedback and for giving this recipe a try. I’m so glad that you tried this out and enjoyed it!
Mmmm good! I made this tonight for dinner followed the exact recipe and my family loved it! Thank you so much. Can’t wait to see what other recipes you have.
That’s so great! Thank you for that wonderful review, Stephanie!
Mmmm good! I made this tonight for dinner followed the exact recipe and my family loved it! Thank you so much.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you all enjoyed that!
Thank you! My daughter was wanting something asian and this did it for us.
We omited the bell peppers. and used ground ginger. We didn’t have brocolli either. Will add next time.
Ours was to salty but that had to do with me not measuring the salt in the noodles very well. I was tired. Oops. So we ate it with rice and that was perfect. Even though the noodles were in there. Ha ha ha…
We also totally forgot to drizzle with sesame oil. We will try that next time also.
Great recipe even if it was a friends… good choice to add here.
I would like to know if that friend has a website and cooks also. Would love more recipes from them!!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for that wonderful review!
I have all the ingredients to make this recipe, except the soy sauce I have is Low sodium. Is this going to affect the outcome?
Hi Dylan, that should work! I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Was really good, my picky 7yr old ate it without a fuss! That is always a win in my book. However I made a few changes.
-Marinated chicken for 30 min in soy sauce & garlic.
– no ketchup, I used honey instead
-I added about a cup extra stock and adjusted the soy sauce and arrow root powder (instead of corn starch) for the sauce.
– I added 2 tbsp black bean sauce.
-Scallions as a garnish.
Thank you so much for sharing your great review and recipe notes.
Love it!
Always marinate the chicken with soy
You can add more salt if you like. I think that is the main difference…
Made this for the second time last night, a very good recipe for stir fry. I did leave the ketchup out and used honey instead. Since I didn’t have any peppers on hand I used asparagus and drizzled a little toasted sesame oil over the vegetable mix😋. Both times I’ve cooked spaghetti noodles in this recipe, I’ll have to give the rice noodles a try never cooked with them before. You are my go to person for recipes.🙂
Thank you for sharing that with us, Michaela and for providing a great review. Good to know that you have tried those substitutes and that it worked well with the recipe!
Definitely would not add ketchup in this recipe again. The ketchup made it taste one dimensional and reminded me of canned spaghettios. Disappointing with all the star veggies and organic chicken breast!
Hi Bree, did you possibly change anything else in the recipe? I have never had it taste like what you described. I suggest following the recipe exactly before making any modifications.
Love your recipes
I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you for sharing that with me!
this is probably a very good recipe. but when I watched the video, I mentally whispered to you “wash the stove top, wash the stove top! you can’t cook and take off when you have such a dirty stove top!”
Thank you for sharing that with me.
Just made it to night . Was awesome. I have to watch my sodium so I only used 1 tbsp of Soya sauce and 2 of the ketchup. Also used my own homemade chicken stock. Will make this meal again when we have quest over . Maybe if I want to share. One other point I must make I used left over roasted beer can chicken when I made this meal.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Made it tonight and only made a few minor changes. I used orange bell peppers, didn’t use sesame oil and pre cooked the broccoli. The family LOVED it, we slurped it all up and scraped the pan!!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Aurora!
I’ve tried many of your recipes and this one just did not pass. (For us). Noodles were so pasty and congealed. Cooked for 3 minutes then added the oil. I don’t know…I so wanted to enjoy it but couldn’t. Glad the veggies and chicken were good or else we wouldn’t have had dinner this evening. Sorry, Natasha.
Hi Brandie, I’m sorry to hear that – it sounds like maybe the noodles were the culprit. If using a different type of noodles, make sure you follow the cooking instructions on the package. The rice noodles are very easily overcooked which causes them to stick together.
Yes those noodles cooked very quickly, only a few minutes.
Tastes so good, filling, and healthy. I added green onion, chopped peanuts, and sriracha sauce at the end 🙂
Nice thanks for sharing and for the tips!
Shrimp would be great too! It’s worth a try.
Yes! Shrimp definitely works with this recipe!
Delicious
It was tasty, I added onion just cuz I like it in my stir fries. I’d make again.
It was soooooooooo delicious! I never post comments on recipe web pages on the internet, but this made me so happy. I rarely cook, and did for the family, and really cared, and we were so sooooo impressed. Wonderful.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Melisa! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Hi Natasha! What’s a good substitute for ketchup? Never been a fan of the sweet condiment!
Hi Malak, I haven’t tried subbing anything for ketchup but one of my readers reported great results omitting it. Keep in mind it will likely need additional salt/seasoning (maybe more soy sauce) if you omit ketchup.
Good recipe , but definitely needs some tweaking;)
~Add garlic (!)
~Add TBSP of Maple syrup or honey for that authentic Asian sweetness
~NO ketchup
~Make more sauce (3/4 to 1 cup)
~Marinate chicken pieces in soy sauce for about 30 min. , so the chicken pieces are not bland in the finished dish

Well as usual Hubby and I loved this recipe. Followed directions. Can you sugest best way to reheat leftovers. Thanks
That’s so great Wendy! This is best fresh but it can be reheated the next day using a frying pan on low heat or the microwave.
Hi Natasha. I love your recipes. I am wondering why the recipe ingredients are Vegetable oil and you are using in the video Avocado oil? Can we use avocado oil as you showed in the video or Vegetable oil?
Hi Leticia, either one will work, actually any high heat cooking oil. We often use an extra LIGHT olive oil as well (not extra virgin though).
soo good 4 the food studies assignment thx 4 this website
hi
Your recipes always look amazing, including this one for chicken stir fry. I noticed the nutritional content is not posted with your recipes- is there anyway to include this information with your recipes? Just want to know what I am eating and in what quantities. Thank you
Hi Cathy, If you click “Jump to recipe” at the top of the post-it will take you to our printable recipe where you have the option to view the ingredients in US Customary or Metric measurements and the nutritional info at the very bottom of that post. I hope that helps. We are slowly working through all of our recipes to add nutrition info but it is a time consuming process as they have to be added one at a time. Thank you for being patient!
I made it yesterday. Delicious!!! So easy & quick. We all love it. Thanks You so much Natasha!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Luba. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I wanted a spicy stir fry, so I replaced the ketchup with sriacha chili sauce. I took some other creative freedoms as well, but it still came out really good.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Charity! I’m glad you enjoyed that!
I have never felt compelled to leave a comment after trying a recipe on a website. However, after our dinner last night, I just had to write. I followed the recipe exactly. Our dinner was amazing! The recipe was easy to follow, and we enjoyed it immensely. Can’t wait to make it again.
That’s so awesome, Kenna! Sounds like you found a new favorite! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
Bland and not great at all. The problem is that sauce. The ingredients can be put to better use with a better sauce.
Great recipe Natasha. Hubby & I both loved it as is. We will be adding it to our regular to cook monthly. ty
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite Wendy!
Didn’t turn out like the picture— noodles were awful and the amount of chicken broth with suggested sauce wasn’t near enough— very disappointing — wasted time and money
Hi Susan, I’m so sorry to hear that. I am always happy to help troubleshoot. It sounds like the noodles might have been the culprit. Rice noodles cook very quickly so they are easy to overcook and if they do get overcooked, they tend to expand more and soak up more of the sauce, leaving the dish feeling a little dry. You could increase the sauce for a saucier version. I hope that helps to troubleshoot.
Made this last week. Used spaghettini as I did not have rice noodles on hand and didn’t want to go out. It was a resounding success. This is a real keeper.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Im wondering if shrimp would work in this ?
Hi Naomi, I think that would work well with shrimp.
I was excited to try this recipe from all the great reviews. I followed it to the T and didn’t like how it tasted. I was expecting something closer to a vermicelli bowl taste.
