Expert Tips

Choose the Right Noodles: Lo mein or rice noodles work best, but ramen or spaghetti can be a substitute in a pinch.

Prep Ingredients First: Have all your vegetables chopped and sauce mixed before cooking for a seamless stir-fry process.

Custom Spice Level: Adjust the sriracha to control the heat, or omit it entirely for a milder dish.

FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables?
Yes, frozen stir-fry vegetables are a great shortcut. Add them directly to the skillet without thawing.

What’s the best substitute for hoisin sauce?
A mix of soy sauce and a touch of honey or brown sugar can work as a replacement.

How do I keep noodles from sticking?
Toss cooked noodles with a small amount of oil if you’re not using them immediately.

Storing & Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.

Substitutions & Variations

Vegetarian: Replace the meat with tofu or extra vegetables like bell peppers and snap peas.

Gluten-Free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles for a gluten-free version.

Extra Crunch: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts on top before serving.
