Notes

  • I like using sliced chili pepper but when am making it for kids then I throw in the whole chili pepper without slicing. I want the flavor not the heat.
  • Egg noodles are used to make chow mein but you can sub with spaghetti. Ran out of egg noodles so I used Japanese noodles instead, worked out just fine
