“This dish was really delicious! The sauce was perfect! I followed the directions for technique and stir fried the chicken first, then removed, then veggies until done and then soaked and drained rice noodles, returned chicken, sauce, ginger and garlic and mixe” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this as written except used chicken thighs as I don’t like white meat, used whole wheat spaghetti and used a touch of hoisin as I didn’t have oyster sauce so I increased the sugar a little and used bagged coleslaw as I already had it. Turned out great!” — a cook, 5.0★
