    This recipe was OK. We liked it, but weren’t over the moon about it like other recipes I’ve made from Natasha. The only substitute I made was coconut aminos for soy sauce (that’s what I had on hand), and I added a bit of corn starch to the chicken before stir frying to help it remain moist. The textures of everything were spot on and exactly as I expected. The sauce just didn’t have the flavor punch or balance I hoped for. It could have used something with a bit of sweetness (maybe a bit of brown sugar or hoisin?) and something with a bit more of a punch to it (like oyster sauce, perhaps?). I’d like to try this one again with a few alterations.

      Hi Emily. Thank you for sharing. I hope the next attempt works better for you. The Coconut aminos tastes similar to soy but are slightly sweeter which should help the sweet profile. Let us know how it turns out if you experiment with other seasonings/sauces.

    I’m a subscriber and love your recipes but this one was a dud. Into the garbage it went. Sorry. Followed the recipe exactly. Sauce was boring and tasted like ketchup.

      HI Sandra, did you possibly add too much noodles or swap out any of the sauce ingredients? It normally shouldn’t be overpowering of ketchup.

    Followed instructions carefully but noodles all stuck together in a big clump. What a waste.

      Hi Charlie, that is one of two things – either the noodles were overcooked which would make them more mushy and more likely to stick together. Also, it’s important to stir in the oil after cooking the noodles to keep them from sticking together. I hope that helps for next time.

    I found this recipe to be very bland. I love rice noodles, but in my opinion, ketchup is not a good ingredient for a stir fry. The ketchup usurps the ginger and the sesame oil flavors. My family ate it, but didn’t love the experience.

      Hi Shannon, I’m sorry it didn’t hit the mark for you. Normally the ketchup melds nicely with the sauce and most people wouldn’t guess it’s in there. Did you change any ingredients or proportions in the recipe?

    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.
