Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing chili paste.
Cream adds richness—milk works for a lighter version.

Don’t overcook noodles—they should stay slightly firm.
Marinate chicken for 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
Add a splash of lime juice for brightness.
For extra richness, top with a drizzle of chili oil.
