Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet-and-savoury sauce is a highlight for many, with the ketjap manis lending an authentic stir-fry flavour. Some find the dish a little mild and suggest adding chilli, garlic, or extra lime juice for more depth.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick weeknight meal that comes together in around 20 minutes, and several first-time cooks found the instructions easy to follow.
- Suggestions: If the sauce tastes too sweet, try reducing the honey or leaving out the tomato ketchup; adding a splash of extra soy sauce or a fresh chilli can help balance the flavour. Some cooks bulk out the dish with mushrooms, broccoli, or prawns to add variety and make it more filling.
- Next-day meals: The dish keeps well and some found it made enough for a second meal the following day.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt the noodle-to-chicken ratio was uneven, with more noodles than chicken or vegetables; consider adding extra veg or protein if cooking for hungrier appetites.
