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!

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

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!!

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!
