FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe?

Yes, pre-cooked chicken can save time. Simply heat it in the ginger soy glaze before mixing with the noodles.

What type of ginger works best?

Fresh ginger root is best for an authentic and bright flavor, but ground ginger can be used in a pinch—use about 1/4 teaspoon per tablespoon of fresh ginger.
