5 Chicken Stir Fry Tips

1. Prep Ingredients: Before starting the stir fry, make sure all ingredients are prepared and measured. Plus plates and eating utensils are ready! Once you start cooking, the Easy Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles comes together quickly.
2. Leftovers: Typically leftovers is your friend which is why I love casseroles and stews. But for the best Quality, do not make a large quantity to allow more control over stir frying the vegetables and blending the sauce into the ingredients.
3. Selecting Noodles: The selection of noodles is important depending upon if you want a thinner or a thicker type noodle for your Easy Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles.
   1. If you do make extras consider using thicker noodles since the thinner noodles can become mushy the next day.
   2. For this dish I made it with Chinese Wide Lo Mein Noodles and Somen Noodles designed for soups, stir-fry and noodle salads. The latter are delicate and it is easy to overcook them. Somen Noodles came in four bundles sealed with a wrapper.
   3. When ready to boil them, hold the noodles in one hand while cutting the seal to avoid having them roll away!
   4. My rule of thumb: wide noodles for a substantial noodle suitable for leftovers; thinner noodles for delicate dishes such as a broth soup with noodles.
4. Mixing In Noodles: Adding the cooked wide noodles to the stir fry was challenging to mix with the ingredients.
   1. When using the Somen Noodles I added them to the plate and then spooned the cooked ingredients on top of them to gently blend together. The latter did not work as well since the noodles did not evenly blend with the sauce. (As you can see in the below picture with the plate- but the meal was delicious!)
   2. Another option is to use grilling tongs to gently mix in the noodles adding a section of cooked noodles at a time.
5. Make Ahead Tips: We have several make ahead tips to help prepare the meal after a busy day!
   1. Rotisserie Chicken is a perfect option to reduce time.
   2. Chop the vegetables the day before storing in the refrigerator. When slicing the vegetables try to make them uniform in size to ensure even cooking. Peppers tend to have a wet texture. When storing them, include a paper towel in the container. Or purchase stir-fry vegetables from the supermarket.
   3. Make the sauce ahead of time.

Making the Easy Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles

1. Making the Sauce: The stir fry sauce is pretty easy to make. Basically add all the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. At the same time, stir until the sugar is dissolved mixing into the sauce. Once the sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while preparing the stir fry.
2. Noodles: Start the water for the noodles bringing it to a boil.
3. Olive Oil: Pour a small amount of Olive Oil or Stir Fry Oil in a stir fry pan or wok.
4. Add Vegetables: Once the pan is hot, add the vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes.
   1. Be sure to add the vegetables that take longer to cook first.
   2. Add the sliced carrots and onions first to allow the carrots more time to cook and onions time to caramelize before adding the peppers.
   3. Add the asparagus last to ensure they do not overcook.
5. Add Chicken: Before the vegetables reach the desired tenderness, add the chicken to start heating through.
6. Cook the Noodles: At the same time add the noodles to cook until ‘al dente’ since you will be adding them to a hot wok. Drain the noodles well to avoid any additional moisture to your Easy Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles.
7. Add the Noodles; Mix the noodles into the stir fry adding the cooked sauce. Be sure to blend all ingredients with the sauce letting it cook for a minute or two. This is important to ensure the noodles are well coated and the chicken absorbs the sauce. Cook the vegetables until they are tender but yet are crisp. It looks beautiful in the wok with added cilantro and fresh lime slices!
8. Plate and Garnish: Plate your dishes with adding fresh cilantro and sliced limes! Have extra limes since it adds a wonderful additional layer of flavor!
