So easy and delicious. The perfect amount of spiciness for us. I think the fish sauce (which does not add a fishy flavor or I'd NEVER be able to get away with that in this house) adds to the takeout flavor. I added sliced carrots to the veggie addition. On the table in less than 30 minutes. Leftovers the next day are not so great. The noodles don't hold up to reheating. Will make this often! Thanks!!

WOW! This was a fantastic meal! After I cut the chicken and broke the asparagus, I soaked the noodles while cooking the rest and had this beauty on the table in a jiff! The hubby enjoyed it as much as I did. I did not change a thing about this recipe and it was not only really good, but it was also not to spicy for me. Of course, that boy of mine added another 2 spoon fulls of the chili-garlic sauce because he's extra tough Thank you so much for posting your recipe, we will have it again and again. It was really very good!

If I could give this recipe 6 stars I would! It was super fast and easy and my whole family loved it, including my 2 year old son. I did make a few changes… I doubled the sauce and the asparagus, reduced the chili-garlic sauce by half so my son would eat it, and made a separate table sauce for my husband and I with ½ Tb brown sugar, 1 Tb fish sauce, 2 Tb soy sauce and 2 Tb chili garlic sauce. Next time I think I will try flat noodles just because I prefer them to rice noodles. Delicious!

Fantastic! I added more asparagus and a little curry paste because we love things hot! It was so easy to make, will be making again soon. Thanks for the recipe jessibelle.

Fantastic recipe! I used fresh flat rice noodles and doubled the chilli-garlic sauce. I also used onion, carrot and snow peas instead of asparagus. Quick, easy and seriously tasty - many thanks for posting!

This was the best!!!! I roasted the asparagus in the oven before adding it with the noodles because we prefer it softer. Also, I split into two portions before adding the chile sauce to please my 1, 3 and 9 year olds. EVERYONE gobbled this up. My husband finished up every last bit even scraping off the kids plates and added some extra hot chile sauce to his. Besides being easy... this was a very impressive dish I would serve to guests. I am going to try this next time with pork and broccoli. So versatile this recipe is! Thanks for posting!

I've made this twice now - the first time I didn't have the chile garlic sauce and just added a few red papper flakes. It was good that way, but tonight I had chile garlic sauce and it did add a little something extra. I only used half of the amt. called for and it was still a little spicy for me and too spicy for my 3 year old (DH added extra chile sauce of course!) I would definitely recommend starting out on the low end with the sauce and then adding to taste. I would also definitely recommend adding the fish sauce - it really gives it that Thai flavor.

This was so easy and REALLY good! A bit too spicy for my Dad, but my daughter added extra chili sauce! I found the noodles to be a bit dry at first for our tastes, so I made more in a bowl with the chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar in the original amounts and added it to the pan. Next time I will triple the sauce but use only the original amount of chili-garlic sauce so the faint of mouth will not think it is too hot and the rest of us can add more. I also put out chopped cilantro and fresh lime wedges for garnish which turned out really nice!

this is truly a no-fail recipe. i wanted to try it be/c i had some rice noodles taking up space in my panty and because of its awesome reviews. i didn't have chicken or asparagus, or chili-garlic sauce/sambal oelek and this thing still turned out well. i replaced the chicken with shrimp and replaced the asparagus with peas. i used ketchup and chili flakes in place of the chili-garlic sauce. this is seriously so yummy! i can't wait to try the "real deal" when i have all of the ingredients!
