Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken and pre-chopped veggies to save time.
  • Add greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrition.
  • Separate noodles when storing to avoid over-softening.
  • Freeze without noodles and add fresh ones when reheating.
  • Drizzle with sesame oil for an Asian-inspired flavor boost.
