Noodle stir fry

This noodle stir fry is such a quick dinner. Make it with or without meat. We have used chicken, but would also be great with any veggies in your fridge for a vegetarian alternative. If you are gluten free, you can now find GF rice noodles in the fridge section of the supermarket. Check your sauces to ensure they are gluten-free.
