- Use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles to make the dish gluten-free.
- Feel free to swap chicken breast for thigh meat for extra juiciness.
- Any type of noodles can be used, such as rice noodles, egg noodles, or soba, based on preference.
- Adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions can enhance flavor and presentation.
