Notes

Make sure to prep all ingredients before starting to cook, as stir-frying goes quickly. Adjust the spice level by removing seeds from the peppers or adding sriracha for extra heat. This dish is versatile; feel free to swap proteins or veggies based on your preference or what you have on hand. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water when reheating to keep noodles from drying out. Avoid freezing for the best texture.
