Notes
Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version. Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for more nutrition. Tofu, shrimp, or beef can be used instead of chicken. Toss noodles with oil after draining to prevent sticking. Increase cornstarch or simmer longer for a thicker sauce.
