    Made this for lunch today and so easy yet so very very tasty. I used Hokkien noodles and beef instead of chicken and there is only 2 of us and not one is left! I love the fact that all ingredients are in your fridge and pantry

  4. 5 stars
    For such a simple recipe, this packed so much flavor! I doubled the sauce ingredients as I was using Hokkien Noodles instead of rice. We all really enjoyed this.
