Personal Notes from Foodeva Marsay

📍I usually Break the batch of Spaghetti halfway down its length, makes a little go a long way (shhhh…it’s our little secret), Do not add all of the Spaghetti during the tossing stage, we want a good balance of chicken-vegetables-pasta/noodles. Excess boiled spaghetti freezes well in a zip-lock freezer bag.

📍Try adding 1 Cup of shredded Cabbage and/brocolli/baby corns during the Stir Fry point in recipe, Remember these are just optional, The recipe is just perfect without it too.

📍Try Shredding/Grating your carrots if you have younger kids.

📍Soy Sauce/Oyster Sauce/Fish sauce may be used instead of the Worcestershire Sauce.

📍Why not give Beef/Prawns a try if Chicken is not what you prefer.
