Great recipe Natasha 🙂
I I tried this for dinner today and it turned out great! I added a few extra ingredients like garlic, spicy chili flakes and eggs but other than that I followed your recipe. .. This one is a keeper!! Thank you for sharing:)
That’s so great, Merilyn! It sounds like you have a new favorite! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Made this last night and although it was good I think it could have been better with some garlic and more ginger. My husband suggested next time to sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. I will definitely try again.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Ketchup and corn starch are not Asian staples. Not sure about bell peppers. Can you provide a version without ketchup? Or all those ingredients?
Hi Sandi, 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.
I’ve made this recipe several times with whatever vegetables I have in the fridge. This is usually broccoli, carrot, onion and red capsicum. It always turns out well. I usually amp up the ginger and squeeze some lime over before eating too. Very yummy! Even the kids like this one. Thanks for the recipe 😍
You’re so welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
I am making this tonight for my wife and I. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
I left out mushrooms and added onion. Terrific! Dont think you need to add salt. Plenty in the soy.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi Natasha ! Your recipes are awesome! Thanks for your humor in the videos. I’m a single dad teaching my 10 yo son to cook nutritious and tasty meals. He’s my helper for now and we are both enjoying our wonderful creations. You are a rock star in the kitchen ! Phill & Adam
I’m so inspired reading this review! Thank you for sharing that with me!!
This was delicious! We used lima beans since I forgot broccoli and skipped the sesame oil and just added extra soy since sesame oil was a little pricey and I wasn’t sure we’d go through it fast enough. Still tasted great!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for that great review!
Really good recipe. It’s well explained. Thanks 👏👏
I’m happy you enjoyed that!
Yummyv and easy to follow
I’m so happy you enjoyed that! 🙂
I am 25 and a complete newbie at cooking (I know..ridiculous). I have some time off so I finally wanted to give it a shot. I came across your page and I’m SO happy I did. This recipe was so easy to follow, especially with your super clear video to along with it, and the food turned out delicious. Everyone was so impressed! Thank you very much.
A warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you discovered our blog.
My wife and I just made this and loved it. Made it as per recipe. Only thing I added was sriracha hot sauce to spice things up a bit. The sesame oil was a great addition!
Mm I bet that heat made it that much better!!
Made this tonight, used rice noodles for the first time ever, and I overcooked them so the dish ended up mushy. I cooked noodles last so after draining I just threw them into the veggies and added the rest of the stuff.
I agree with some of the reviews that the flavor is not the best. For me, it’s too sweet. I think next time I’ll try without ketchup, and add more seasonings during chicken frying and veggies, and add onion as well as garlic.
I have loved all the recipes I tried by you, but not this one:/
Hi Natasha, overcooking rice noodles can make all the difference in the outcome of the recipe – when the noodles are overcooked, they expand and soak up more sauce so the overall dish can end up a little dry.
Quadrupled the recipe (to have some left over for our big family a couple more times.) I sauteed some onions and then added some peppers and snap peas to the onions and separately sauteed some mushrooms. I also had a beef stock boiling on the stove so I decided to use that in place of the chicken and also cooked the noodles on that same stock. I salted and peppered the stock very well so the final product was quite flavorful. After my beef was tender, I cut it into small slices against the grain and added it to the stir fry. Very delicious!!
Btw, I used Costco’s vegan and gluten free pasta sheets (made out of brown rice) and I will definitely use those again.
Also, I read that someone commented that the pasta stuck together and I wanted to mention it’s best not overcook the pasta and also I made the sauce and poured it over the (drained) pasta and mixed it well just to separate the noodles even more before mixing in the vegetables. Hope that helps someone!
Thank you Anna! We appreciate that!!
Both my husband & I really liked this dish and it is definitely a keeper. Glad we saw this recipe. Made this tonight but was wary of the ketchup, but don’t worry you won’t notice it after everything is mixed together. I used the Birds Eye Asian Medley Mix and added some green peppers out of our gardens.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Nina!
I made this recipe for my husband, son, and two friends tonight, and it was a hit. It is delicious and healthy as well. Thanks for the easy, delicious recipe!
Thank you for sharing that with us Sharon!
Super excited to try this recipe but do I need to add ketchup? Is there a substitute?
Hi Kristen, 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.
Hi. Can I make this with egg noodles?
I don’t see why not! Let me know how you like it with Egg noodles!
I made a variation of this recipe and it was delicious! I had to sub a few things and make do but it came out great. I used some crushed garlic while sautéeing the chicken. I subbed the cornstarch for arrowroot just because it’s what I had on hand. I also used broccoli, yellow squash, onion and shredded carrots for the veggies since it’s what I had. The only other thing I did differently was double the sauce mixture because I added too many rice noodles! It was great though. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re so welcome Sarah! I am so happy you enjoyed that! Thank you for leaving this great review with your changes!
I made this last night, I followed exactly all the ingredients and steps (Oh my!!! you are so clear to explain your recipes!!). Was perfect, I didn’t have to put salt, was delicious, tasty, my family loved it!!!! I was going to take a picture, but they were waiting to eat, and it went so fast, that I coudn’t take a picture!!!
Wow! Thank you for the great review Christina! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
I made this last night & everyone loved it! I used sugar snaps instead of broccoli & low sodium soy sauce! 👍👍👍
Thanks I love following you❣️
That’s so great, Joni! Thank you for that great review!
Wonderful recipe! I just season the chicken a bit more..
But anyone else think this is more of 45 in-1 hour meal with the chopping, cooking etc?? Or am I just not that experienced of a cook yet? 😉
All I can say is wow! Amazing! Make this dish folks! Any review you read that makes you think twice just ignore! Yummmmm
Thank you for that wonderful compliment! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it!
What a great recipe! I cannot eat peppers or broccoli. Would substituting pea pods work? Whatcould I use in place of the peppers?
Hi Robing pea pods would work great as a substitute here. Thank you for trying our recipes 😀
Tasted yum, even though it was the first time ever, making noodles
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
Natasha,
I’ve made this twice now and it didn’t have the taste I was looking for. However, once it cooled down and stood in the fridge overnight, it was an amazing lunch the next day! I ate it cold without heating it up and loved the flavor and texture.
Natalya
Hi Natalya, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love it when recipes for lunch the next day!
2 chicken breast I laugh because they can range from 6oz to over 1lb each. An experienced cook will estimate according to the other ingredients but for the novice it would be nice to put how many oz or lbs is suggested for the ratio of vegetables.
Hi Dolores, 2 chicken breasts about 8 oz each would work great 🙂
Cant wait to try it
I hope you love it Shelly! Please let me know what you think!
I made this for dinner last night for my three boys and I and I am sorry to say this is the first time one of the recipes (and I have tried and loved many) that was posted on your website got a thumbs down :- (
First of all the darn noodles stuck together despite using oil after they were cooked and I was not crazy about the overall flavor. Sorry!
Hi Linda, I wonder if maybe the type of noodles used were overcooked? This can cause them to stick together more and absorb more of the sauce.
I’m so happy I stumbled across this recipe! It was delicious and full of flavour, I didn’t have mushrooms so did it without and also added a chilli for an extra kick!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Jennie! Thanks for sharing your excellent review with other readers!
Tried this one evening (only thing I left out was the ketchup) and even the 2 year old ate it with no fight what-so-ever (4 little kids in my family). Loved it. we had it with wheat noodles as well as rice. Thank YOU !! Will this still be good leftover? Looking to make it and have it throughout the week but not sure how the noodles will hold up !
Hi Ben, I think this is best and juiciest when it’s fresh since the noodles soak up some of the sauce, but it can be reheated the next day 🙂
I am so happy I found your blog! I made this dish for dinner tonight. It was easy to prepare and I will definitely make it again!
I’m glad you found my page too Zahrah! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for following and sharing your great review!
How many weight watchers smart points? Does anyone know?
Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Laura!
This recipe is delicious, very simple to make and is a full meal. so happy I’ve found it. Thank you.
You’re welcome Paulina! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I made this exactly as called for. The timing of everything and measurements. I am very disappointed. It is very bland. The only things I taste is the stir fry sauce on the noodles but the chicken and vegetables do not have any flavor. I will definitely try again but I will season my chicken with my usual go to seasoning and my veggies, I will sauté in minced garlic along with some onion for flavor. I will also add onion and garlic powder to my boiling water for the noodles. This is a 2 star recipe for me only because I did like the stir fry sauce.
Hi Ninive, I’m not sure if this helps, but sometimes if you use low sodium soy sauce, you would need additional seasoning to compensate for the lower sodium content.
I really want to make this recipe, but my bf does not like mushrooms.
Will this alter the recipe too much?
Hi Alison, we love flavor of mushrooms, but it will still work without them. One of my readers reported great results using snow peas instead and another used and loved zucchini instead 🙂
Made this tonight and it was wonderful!! If you let your chicken sit in a tablespoon or two of baking soda for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it makes the chicken very tender. Just like at an Asian restaurant!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
Excellent recipe and it will be a go to for me. Easy, quick and tasty – I followed the recipe, but did add a few red pepper flakes (I like heat) and used Udon noodles, only because I had them. I can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow. Thank you Natasha
You’re welcome John! I’m glad to hear how much you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review with other readers!
Wonderful recipe, doing it again today!
I’m glad you like it Bill! Thanks so much for sharing!

Made this tonight. I didn’t have red peppers on hand, so I used yellow. Very flavorful dish. I will make this again very soon. Nice quick & easy meal.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Mary! Thanks so much for sharing your great review!
Just made this for dinner and my husband and I loved it. It was so easy to make and tasted delicious. Will for sure make again.
I’m so glad to hear that Megan! Thank you for sharing your fantastic review with other readers!
Just made this for dinner and the whole family loved it very tasty I used extra quantities in the sauce and used plain flour and a drizzle of honey and it thickened up and caramelised lovely enjoyed every mouthful
Hi Mart! I’m so glad your whole family loved this recipe! Thank you for sharing your amazing review :). I love your addition of honey!!
Easy and delicious! It really does only take about 30 minutes from start to finish. Read the recipe all the way through and follow the instructions – don’t overcook the chicken or noodles like I did!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Misha! Thanks for sharing your helpful review with other readers!

If you add sun-dried tomatoes some rappini and spinach leave, it raps it up to a new level. Delicious.
What a great suggestion Fran! Thanks for sharing!
recipe looks so awesome and mouth watering…want to try it
Its delicious! Please let me know what you think if you decide to make it!
My husband and son (and I) loved this!! It wasn’t too heavy, but just right and so easy! I’ll be making this again!
Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear that! 🙂
Even with the soy sauce I felt it was a very bland
Hi Ang, this is supposed to be a lighter and healthier stir fry – you can increase the sauce if you prefer a saucier stir fry. Also, if you are using low sodium chicken broth or soy sauce, be sure to season to taste with salt or it will be bland.
Will this still be good leftover? Looking to make it and have it throughout the week but not sure how the noodles will hold up!
Hi Kathryn, this will hold up well as leftovers but I do think it is best fresh 🙂
Tried this one evening (only thing I left out was the ketchup) and even the 2 year old ate it with no fight what-so-ever (4 little kids in my family). Loved it. we had it with wheat noodles as well as rice. Thank YOU!!
You’re welcome De! I’m happy to hear the whole family enjoys this recipe! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
where is the seasoning? i haven’t even made this and it sounds bland and tasteless. You didn’t even add salt or pepper, and that’s the bare minimum!
Hi Ko, it is one of our most popular recipe posts because it does have great flavor. It isn’t overly salty and you can add salt and pepper to taste if you like saltier foods but the sauce adds plenty of flavor to the dish. The soy sauce, ketchup and broth all have enough salt to balance the dish.
Just made it, everything but the chicken taste good. There isn’t enough seasoning for the chicken. Frying it directly without marinating it was a bad choice.
Hi V M, you can pre-marinate this if you prefer, or just season lightly with salt and pepper.
That was amazing test so good thanks😊
You’re welcome Ana! I’m glad you love it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I just made this, I’m 23 and have had a recent interest in trying to cook and this was incredibly tasty!
This is going to be my go to recipe for stir fry from now on. The sauce is very tasty!
Thank you Natasha.
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear how much you enjoy this recipe! Thanks for following and sharing your great review!
They dish is yummy, but I would recommend adding some additional seasoning and cooking the noodles longer! My noodles were still fairly crunchy by the time I was done.
Hi Sarah, maybe you used a different kind of noodle? Rice noodles cook super fast and become mushy quickly if overcooked.
Really yummy! I just don’t enjoy rice noodles but couscous is a great substitute!
What a great suggestion Keren! Thanks for sharing your review with other readers!
Can you use shrimp instead?
Hi Donna, I think that would work well with shrimp.
What if you bought the thinner rice noodles? Could that work with this as well?
Hi Destiny, I think that should still work wit the thinner ones.
What could you put in other than broccoli? Not a fan of broccoli. Thanks!
Hi Angie, you could use bell pepper or snap peas instead or even asparagus 🙂
Zucchini or shredddd carrots or green beans
So good! Even my extremely picky husband had seconds. Thank you 😀
My pleasure Carly! I’m glad to hear how much you both enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review!
Made this the other night, love how easy it was to make and also it was pretty healthy.
For my taste, it was a bit bland, adding garlic and seasoning would definitely make it tastier, I feel like the sauce wasn’t enough if you like it to be more flavorful. Also, I don’t recommend using all the pasta because it was a bit dry, so either don’t use all the pasta or make more sauce. Overall, I would make this recipe again.
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Everything you said I agree with. It was a bit dry and I would add more seasoning.
I think soy sauce may contain gluten?
Hi Sandy, you can get gluten free soy sauce – look for the Tamari brand. It does have to say gluten free on the bottle to be gluten free.
Delicious ,perfect. Thanks
My pleasure! I’m happy to hear you love it! 🙂
I made this tonight and it was delicious! My wife and daughters loved it as well and want me to be sure to keep this recipe. I added slightly more broth and soy sauce as it seemed like it may have been getting a little too dry and added 7 or 8 green onions. Other than that, I followed the recipe to the letter. This recipe has it all… easy to prepare and delicious to eat!!
Hi Jerry, I am so glad you all loved the recipe! 🙂
This was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome Marianne! I’m glad you love it!
Needed something different. My family loved it. Switched mushrooms for snow peas, (my girls won’t eat mushrooms. ) easy and fabulous!
That’s great, I’m happy to hear your family enjoys the recipe Gail! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review!
Just made this tonight! Was a great meal, quick and easy! thanks
You’re welcome Diane! I’m glad to hear you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hello! Would this recipe work with egg?
Hi Stephanie, I haven’t tried adding egg, but I think you could add egg to this for a little extra protein.
Question, if I wanted to make this while camping could I make the ketchup/ soy sauce marinade ahead of time and store it in the cooler?
Hi Ilona, that should work fine to make the sauce in advance and keep in a cooler as nothing in the sauce is very perishable.
can you boil the chicken before frying it
Hi Izzy, I think that would still work although make sure not to overcook or it will be rubbery as with any overcooked chicken breast 🙂
Hi Natasha, this is the first recipe of yours that I have tried – I changed it up a bit and did shrimp instead of the chicken, and zucchini instead of mushroom. We all loved it – what I liked is that you used all ingredients that I already had in my fridge! Thanks 🙂
My pleasure! That sounds delicious Lisa! I’m so glad you and your family enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review 😀
Could I add onions and mushrooms to the stir fry or will that mess with the flavor too much?
Kayla, there are mushrooms in the recipe and onions would work just fine 😃
I was looking for a recipe to use the rice noodles I bought. this was wonderful – although I did add a pinch of red pepper flake to the sauce as we like heat. The flavor was wonderful.
the only problem was my own – the rice noodles I had were the curly kind and it was hard to mix those into the chicken mixture. only straight cut noodles from now on.
My husband loved it and told me not to lose the recipe
I’m happy to hear you both enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your review and leaving a great tip for other readers!
my gf made was yum / 10
I’m happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing 🙂
planning on making this tonight, but instead of chicken broth can i use vegetable broth?
Mia, vegetable broth will work fine 😀
Amazing…so tasty . I couldn’t believe it would be good with so little effort. This will definitely be a weekly menu dish at our house! Thank you !
Lorna, thank you for such a nice review, I’m so happy to hear that 😀
Have made this twice and it is sooooo good! This time I used leftover turkey and it worked great.
Awesome! I’m happy to hear that Doug! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review 🙂
Hi- I am making this tonite – is that a 10 in. skillet you used ??
Hi Brian, I just measured it and it’s slightly larger at 11″. 10″ will probably work – it might be a little harder to toss everything together but it will still work 🙂 I hope you love the recipe!
Oh my gosh- everyone loved it !!
It was a bit much for my 10 inch skillet but manageable. I had to leave out the sesame oil as wife is allergic. Bet this would be just as good with chicken thighs ipo breasts – gonna try that sometime. Thanks for posting this Natasha !!! 😉
You are very welcome Brian and thank you for such a rave review 😬
I plan on making this for dinner this week. Looks delicious! What do you think about using dried, ground ginger? And how much? Fresh ginger is not readily available in my area.
Hi Michelle, I would say about 1/4 tsp of ground ginger if you are not able to get fresh. I hope you love the recipe!
Sounds delicious! One question: I can’t stand ketchup, could I substitute tomato sauce? Or even omit it completely?
Hi Jenna, you can’t really taste ketchup in this specifically but it does add alot to the flavor. I had one reader report that they tried it without ketchup and it was ok but they liked it better with ketchup.
Hi Natasha!
My husband really dislikes the taste of ginger, I wonder if I can just omit it? Is there a strong flavor of ginger in this recipe? Or maybe I can add just a dash of ground ginger which I have on hand. Thank you!
Hi Alina, I would probably go with using a dash of ground ginger, which is better than not using it at all. The ginger does add nice authentic flavor here without being overly powerful in the recipe. I hope you both love it! 🙂
Made this for dinner the other night and it turned out well! Love all of the vegetables and the flavors, but I think I will double the sauce portion next time for more sauce as I found the end result a bit drier than I would have liked. Still a good recipe!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!! This is a lighter stir fry and not intended to be ultra saucy. If you want it to be juicier, you might start with 1 1/2 times the sauce so the sauce flavor doesn’t overwhelm the noodles or get too salty. I hope that helps! 🙂
Hi Natasha,
I want to try the recipe but I don’t like sesame oil or oyster oil….is there something else I can use to get a great flavor?
Hi Jay, you could just omit it. I think it adds nice authentic flavor but the recipe would still work without it.
Hello Natasha! I haven’t tried this recipe yet but it looks delicious! I love stir fry.. And I love your name! 😊 I have two girls, Natalie & Natasha. I’m expecting another baby girl in Aug & am hoping to find another Ukrainian name for her. Any suggestions? 😉
Aww thank you so much for the compliment and wonderful review! I can give you some ideas. My Mom’s name is Katrina, my sisters are: Tanya, Alla, Anna and Svetlana :). I hope that helps! I want to know what name you end up choosing!! 🙂 Congratulations on your newest baby girl and God bless you, baby and your family!!
Nutrition information ???????????
Hi Patrick, due to time constraints I’m not able to include nutritional info or calorie counts on most of my recipes, but I’m hoping it’s something we can do in the future. Sorry I know that’s not super helpful.
Hi! Can this recipe work for normal noodles too or does it have to be rice noodles?
Hi Annabelle, you could make it work with normal noodles, you’ll just want to cook them according to package instructions.
I just cooked and ate the chicken stir fry with rice noodles it was yummy my husband liked it also
I’m happy to hear you both enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing Sheryl 🙂
Can you tell me how many calories per portion this would be.
Hi Jon, due to time constraints I’m not able to include nutritional info or calorie counts on most of my recipes, but I’m hoping it’s something we can do in the future. Sorry I know that’s not super helpful.
No worries, I’ll try and work it out. Was just being lazy lol.
My family loved this! I had never cooked a noodle stir fry using rice noodles, I enjoyed the flavor. For those that like added spice, I added a little Siracha and honey to taste, to add a spicy/sweet element. Also, I used frozen stir fry veggies, which made it come together super fast. Definitely a keeper, thanks!
Yum! That sounds good! You’re welcome for the recipe Kim! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. 🙂
It’s like halfway to pad thai!! Just add a peanut sauce, some crush/chopped peanuts, lime and some bean sprouts (if you like them) and you’ll pretty much have pad thai! 🙂
YUM! thank you for sharing!!
Do you have add ketchup or can I leave it Out? Also what do you think about adding ( Baked crispy) tofu to this dish?
Hi Lisa, the ketchup is important to the flavors of this dish so I would not omit it. I honestly have zero experience with tofu so I can’t really advice. If you test it that way, let me know how you liked it! 🙂
Is this considered Gluten free?
Thank you.
Yes it is! Just make sure to get a gluten free soy sauce and everything else is gluten free 🙂
hey this really helped with my bratty kids i threw chicken at them they loved it
I am glad to hear they enjoyed it Gabby! 🙂
Hi Natasha,
I love most of your recipes, looking forward to trying this one. Do you think this will taste good without the chicken? Just veggies.
Hi Alina, absolutely! I think it would work as a vegetarian dish, but I would want to increase the veggies for more substance – maybe more mushrooms also. Enjoy!!
wow amazing really helped me with this one nathsssaaaa
My pleasure!
Do you think this would work with chow mein noodles?
Hi Julia, I do think that would taste great with chow mein noodles. Let me know how you like it!
Thank you very much for the recipe. I’ve tried this recipe and it tasted very well.
Peggy, thank you for the great review and you are welcome 😀.
So good, and such an easy dinner. I’m in college and it was such a good way to get veggies in and have a quick dinner!
Jen, thank you for the nice review, I’m so glad to hear that 😁.
We liked this overall but I felt it needed a punch to it… a little spice or something. Loved the minimal ingredients though and the colors were lovely!
Hi marta, I’m glad you enjoyed it! You can definitely add some hot sauce if you like a spicy stir fry 🙂
Oh Yum! I love one pot meals and I look forward to making this 30-minute dish! Just what I want full of veggies. Pinned it for next week.
Thank you so much for pinning and I hope you LOVE it! 🙂
The chicken is cooked in just a few minutes??
Hi Nico, yes, it cooks quickly over high heat and because it is thinly sliced. Keep in mind, it goes back in the pan at the end to ensure it is fully cooked 🙂
Tasty as it looks in the pictures. My family enjoyed it
Thank you for the wonderful review, I’m glad your family enjoyed the recipe 😀.
So delicious! I have 3 picky boys and they were asking for more! Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so happy to hear that!! Thank you for sharing your great review! 🙂
Not bad!! I almost changed from this recipe when I read that ketchup was one of the ingredients…I was a tad worried, but I am glad that I did not change from this recipe. I can now throw away the expensive sauces and stop ordering chicken wings from restaurants to go with my stir fry!! I am impressed!
I’m glad you liked the recipe and decided to give it a try 😀. Thank you for sharing your review!
Natasha,
My husband doesnt like peppers so is there anything else i can sabstitute it with?
Hi Anna, you can omit them or replace with asparagus, snap peas, or more broccoli. 🙂
I added Shaved Sugarloaf Cabbage ~ it was lovely
Also, we used Oyster Sauce as w are not fond of Ketchup. Best wishes Alison
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to try your modifications. Sounds delicious!! 🙂
Made this twice the past two weeks! My boyfriend loves it. I cook 3 chicken breasts for the extra meat and a tablespoon of Siracha for some heat. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Tasted good. I added onions, black pepper, salt and doubled the sauce. Next time, I am going to try marinating the chicken first.
Thank you Stacey for the review and for sharing your version of the recipe 😀.
I did the same; but I added onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Doubling the sauce is must. And the sesame oil drizzle should not be skipped.
I didn’t realize i didn’t have katchup until it was too late. Had to use tomato paste. Ketchup would have made the meal. However in a pinch I would use tomato paste again.
Thank you so much for sharing that tomato paste works when you’re in a pinch. 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! It looks really good. I will try it tonight. I am quite excited, but also a bit worried about this adding ketchup thing. I mean, I love ketchup, but to me it just sounds a bit strange. Is it really a vital component of the sauce?
Tom, ketchup is a vital component to this recipe and using something else like tomato paste won’t give this dish the same flavor. Let me know how it turns out 😀.
Tom ~ try adding Oyster Sauce – With cooking in Sesame Oil ~ the smells and tastes are delicious.
Sometimes I just use what Veggies I have in the fridge ~ Such a Versatile Recipe
Enjoy ~ Alison
I want to try this recipe this weekend! Quick question though, did you season the chicken when you started cooking it in the skillet? I usually salt and pepper chicken when I am cooking it in the pan. Thanks!
Hi Meghan, you can season very lightly if you want to but it’s not necessary as there is enough salt in the sauce to season everything 🙂
What is the serving size for each serving?
Hi Meghan, there are a total of 4 servings here and each serving fills a soup bowl.
Yet another satisfying dinner! I made this yesterday and my Josh was so impressed. Hehe I think I basically always mention my husband’s reactions to the meals that I make from yer website…but that’s because it’s so fun to always see him happy! You make it so difficult for me to mess up on these meals and that makes me so happy! Happy people everywhere. Thank you to Love for sharing this recipe on here! I’ll definitely be making it again!
And I’m definitely happy reading your amazing review!! Thank you Viktoriya! 🙂
You said to only cool the noodles 2/3 minutes. The box said 8-10 minutes. I followed your instructions and now my noodles are undercooked. So now I’m trying to steam them along with the rest of the chicken/ already stir fried veggies. Had I cooked them the full time it would have been better.
Hi Destiny, what type of noodles and what brand did you use? 8 to 10 minutes would turn rice noodles into mush. Oh snap! I just saw the ingredient list had rice noodles or egg noodles but the cooking instructions were for the rice noodles. Oh gosh, I should have caught that!! So sorry! If you used egg noodles, my sincerest apologies. I updated the recipe to just say rice noodles which work best for this recipe and makes more sense with the instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your experience so I could fix that and for being nice about it in your comment. You’re the best!
This was delicious and my whole family loved it!!! The only thing I did different was to add a little sriracha at the end to give it a little spice. This recipe is a keeper 🙂
Nikki, that’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite 😀!
Ohhhh my goddd! This was so delicious! I really can’t cook but this came out fantastic! Super simple! I am anemic so I needed some more iron in it, instead of broccoli and mushrooms I substituted spinach and asparagus but still so delicious!
Charlie, thank you for such a nice review and I hope you’ll try many more recipes from our site 😄.
If you completely change the recipe don’t comment you A- Holes
Can really thin regular noodles be used instead (like angel hair)?
Hi Kayla, it wouldn’t have the same texture or flavor and it would seem much more like a pasta recipe than an Asian stir fry but I think it would still taste good 🙂
I love this recipe. My family keep asking me to make it over and over again. So I do, because it is delicious and so easy to make. Thanks Natasha. P.S. I love all your reipes. Easy to make and most ingredients I have in my cupboard. Totally awesome!!!!
That’s so awesome! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes 🙂
How many calories per serving?
Kathleen, please user Calorie Count for the details.
Just made this for the first time! I had to take a few shortcuts for budget, but this recipe was so quick and easy it was no trouble at all! The finished product is FANTASTIC! I’ll definitely be checking out more of your work, and thanks so much for sharing this!
Koree, thank you for such a nice review and I hope you’ll find many favorites on the site 😄.
This turned out delicious! Great Gluten free dish! Used Tamari in place of soy sauce, and sprinkled corn flake crumbs on chicken with seasoning, added carrots & pho rice noodles. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your GF modifications! 🙂
It was a nice filling healthy meal for the whole family. I only used chicken and broccoli my husband unfortunately does not like peppers and mushrooms. It still had and awesome flavor.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
Tried it for the first time when I had invited friends over for dinner. I’m a rookie and this recipe turned out to my best yet 🙂 It was delicious. Thank you
I’m so happy to hear that!
LOVE!!! this recipe and my lil bro too (hes a tough critic and very blunt about it). but i added a little bean sprout just to give it a little something. 🙂
Thank you for the awesome review! 🙂
I love to cook but I’m new to stir frying. It turned out wonderful and very easy. Only thing is it is easier if you cook your noodles towards the end.
Hi Eric! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Made this twice already, and it is amazing! Thank you Natasha, you’re my favorite food blogger, your recipes never leave me disappointed. Keep it going 🙂
You’re so nice! Thank you Hanna 🙂
Made this last night and it was great! I added a few more veggies like matchstick carrots and water chestnuts. I also made extra sauce because the noodles I purchased were 14 oz er package instead of 12. It was delicious and my whole family loved it! Will be making stir-fry more often!!
Ava, thank you for the nice review, I’m glad your family liked it 😁.
Made this dish the other night and modified it slightly. Did not use the mushrooms, instead added julienned carrots and water chestnuts. Also, my family loves extra sauce, so we did 4x the sauce and it made the dish delicious even the next day! Highly recommend this dish if you add the extra sauce!
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing your modifications! 🙂
Hi! Can you give me the nutritional value of this delicious meal please “chicken stir fry with rice noodles”
Thank you,
Karla Neblina
Karla, because of time constraints we do not have the nutritional values by when i the answer quickly, I plug it in to the recipe analyzer.
Nice and easy – Really good #guyfood.
Thank you Chris for the nice review 😀.
Natasha why my rice noodles looks different then yours? I put all ingredients but taste is not that good:( may be wrong rise noodles…
Hi, that definitely could be the case. What brand and type of rice noodles did you use?
I added 2 cloves of garlic, minced to the vegetables. Very good and simple recipe. Thank you.
That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing your garlic tip with us! 🙂
This recipe was amazing !!!!!!…. I didn’t have any vegetable oil so I just used my extra virgin olive oil instead, and the sea seem oil I didn’t use because it was too expense to buy for just one meal… I absolutely loved it. My husband and children however would rather starve lol…. I will certainly make it again but it will be awhile.
Thank you,
Ashley, thank you for the nice review and you are welcome 😀.
Hi Natasha, wanted to ask what kind of broth you use?
This one was just a regular chicken broth but for much of my cooking, I buy the low sodium Better Than Bouillon paste at Costco and mix it with hot water to make my own organic quick broth and it doesn’t take up much space to store it – the paste lasts for quite some time in the fridge.
I don’t have sesame oil, do I really need it or does the drizzling make the flavor?
I would recommend getting a bottle for Asian stir fry recipes. It really enhances the flavor and gives the dish authentic flavor. It would work without it of course but it’s more flavorful with it.
This looks awesome! For those of us who care about calories per serving, a nutrition breakdown added to your recipes would be helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brian, I don’t usually include calorie counts but I’ve used caloriecount.com when I need to find out; you copy and past the ingredients and it gives you the numbers. I hope that’s helpful!
I believe not only energetic load matters if you are seeking for healthy, well balanced diet. I did the math with a little help of our Recipe Anylazer https://happyforks.com/analyzer. One serving provides about 617 kcal | 34g protein | Fat 17.9g | Carbohydrates 76.9 | Fiber 3.3 g | Sugars 4.1 g. The numbers may vary depending on the exact ingredients you use.
Hi Natasha, I want to give this recipe a try but i don’t have corn starch on hand. Do you know if I can substitute it for something else?
Thank you
Hi Dorina, I really haven’t tested it with anything else to say for sure. My best guess would be flour but I don’t think it would turn out as well and I can’t give you an exact amount without testing it myself.
Newly married and I live off all your recipes. Not a single failed recipe from your kitchen. Thanks a bunch 🙂
Awww! Lucy that is the best comment I could receive. Thank you so much 🙂
You could try tapioca flour as a thickener. I will be making this tonight and using the tapioca. . Will let you know how it turns out.
I use so many of your recipes but never thank you for them. So, thank you so much for this deliciousness! 🙂
Maryana, you’re so nice. You’re very welcome and thank you for the awesome review! 🙂
I have tried many of your recipes, and all are a success in my household. I love Chinese food, now i no longer do take out. Loved the chicken broccoli recipe as well.
I’m so happy to hear that! And it’s so much healthier than take out. Awesome!!
This is a really stupid question, but I can never get my veggies to mix well with the noodles. No matter what I do the noodles stay together and the veggies are on the bottom, top or sides. Any suggestions?
Hi Allyson, I think the reason your veggies wont mix with your rice noodles is because the noodles are too starchy after cooking them. Try rinsing under cold water after you cook them then add oil to them.
Hi Allyson, did you mix oil into your noodles? As with most stir fry’s, the heavier things will try to escape to the bottom so I would recommend tossing it just before serving.
Made this last night, and my family loved it!! I did use the lower-sodium broth and noticed that my husband and son added a little more soy sauce. Also, I doubled the recipe as I have hungry teenagers, so it took me longer than 30 minutes to prepare. Next time, I will have my sous chefs 😉 help me prepare as this recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad your family loved it!! Thank you for sharing your awesome review! I could see how it would need a splash of soy sauce to give it a little more saltiness if using low sodium broth.
Hi Natasha. I just made this for dinner tonight and it is really delicious. I’ll definitely keep this one in my book. Thanks for sharing it from Love from Munchkintime.
I’m so happy you loved it! Thank you for the awesome review! 🙂
This is great! I found out about a recipe that was almost similar from Budget Bites, and changed it up a little but it’s literally the same, very tasty and easy!!! For even a quicker recipie I just use cup noodles, add cold water in there just to rinse out the seasoning and then fill it up with hot and by the time it’s done baking in the cups the veggies are already cooked, add in my sauce and meat and noodles and it’s so delicious!
Janet, I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing your quick version with us!
This dish looks so good. Pinned. Going to check out Munchkintime, and her delicious recipes. Thanks y’all for sharing.
Mary, you’re so nice! Love of Munchkintime has some great recipes on her site as well. P.S. Thank you so much for pinning. I really appreciate it! 🙂
What kind of chicken broth did you use?
Any regular chicken broth. You can use reduced sodium if you wish but keep in mind it will be a little less salty so you may need a splash more soy sauce if using reduced sodium.
A lovely recipe. I love stir frys. Thank you.
Thanks Liz! Same here – they are so quick and easy!
Beautiful stir fry! And I checked out Munchkintime – what a great blog that I have never come across before!
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you discovered her blog 🙂
Hi Natasha! What brand and where did you get the rice noodles?
Here is the package that I purchased at Fred Meyer. They should have something similar in the Asian section of the grocery store.
Love prepared this meal for my family when we stopped by to visit! It was DELICIOUS!!! =)
How awesome!! It really is delicious. Our family loved it too! Love is a genius cook and creative homemaker!
