Customise this recipe

We think our noodles are perfect as they are, but you can easily make some adjustments to this recipe too. Want a bigger portion size? Add more noodles or stir fry some veg to go on the side. Want a bigger kick? Add in some sliced chilli peppers. You can swap the chicken out for prawns, or go veggie and make it with tofu.
