Notes

For extra flavor, squeeze a wedge of lime over the finished dish to enhance the spices. Store leftover chicken separately from the noodles to maintain crispiness; reheat in the oven for the best results. Pat the chicken dry before breading to help the coating stick better. Use freshly grated ginger for maximum flavor. Don't skimp on the sesame oil—it ties everything together beautifully.
