Notes/Tips:

• Use a wok or pan that can withstand high heat. That helps cook veggies and keep them crunchy which is important to the dish.

• You can use store-bought sweet chili sauce if you want, I recommend making it at home. Click here for the recipe.

• You can add whatever veggies you want! It’s a great way to empty out the fridge.

• I prefer using egg noodles but Hakka works well too.

• These noodles are great cold too!

• You can skip the spinach if you want.

• If you want to add egg, scramble it separately and add it with the spinach and sauce mixture.
