Easy and Healthy Switch Ups

Noodle Swaps

Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for noodles! They are the way to my heart and so its not surprising that I incorporated them into this stir-fry dish! If you prefer to switch things up, read below for some alternative ideas including healthier swap outs for the noodles. For me, though, noodles are where its at!

If noodles aren’t your preference in this Chicken Teriyaki Stir-Fry, you could very easily swap them out for rice or a healthier alternative like cauliflower rice or zoodles!

If you are serving this with rice (regular or cauliflower), I recommend making the chicken, veggies and sauce as outlined in the recipe and spooning it over rice.

As for the noodles themselves. They are definitely my preference. I have used all types of noodles here and they all work well. If you have ramen noodles, soba noodles, or chow mein noodles, those are definitely great choices. As I don’t always have those noodles on hand, I often toss in spaghetti instead and it gets the job done!

What Vegetables can you use in this stir-fry?

There are so many options that work well in stir-fry’s, you really have so many options! Feel free to swap in any veggies you love or happen to have on hand. In most cases, they work well in here. Keep in mind though that if you are adding veggies with different cooking times, you may need to add them in at different points in the cooking process. My favourite veggies for stir-fry include:

  • carrots
  • peppers
  • snap peas
  • snow peas
  • edamame
  • green beans
  • onions
  • broccoli
  • asparagus

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
