Notes
Use any type of noodles - rice noodles, lo mein, or even spaghetti work well
For added protein, toss in cooked chicken, beef, shrimp, or cubed tofu
Make it spicier by increasing the chili garlic sauce to taste
This dish tastes even better the next day - store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice or shirataki noodles
For a vegetarian version, add steamed broccoli, snap peas, or julienned carrots
The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week
