Notes

    1. Prepare all of the veggies and chicken first (chop, mince, etc.) as once you're ready to cook it goes very quickly.
    1. A non stick large skillet or a wok work best for this recipe (I prefer a wok)
    1. Add 1-2 diced chilies if you'd like to add spice to this dish.
    1. When cooking the eggs, start adding the veggies and noodles back in before they are fully cooked (still be liquidy). They will continue to cook int he heat of the other ingredients.
    1. I always use a high smoke point oil when stir frying to ensure the oil doesn't burn. Use avocado oil, coconut oil, canola oil or grapeseed oil.
    1. If you'd like a little tang with your noodles, add 2-3 teaspoons of rice vinegar to the sauce.
    2. If the noodles are sticking together, add a touch of oil to the dish.
