Recipe Notes
*8 oz dry spaghetti (thin or regular) will work great too.
**Chicken thighs will work great too. Cook a few minutes longer as needed.
***I've also made this with hoisin sauce in place of oyster sauce when I don't have it. They have much different flavors but both give a delicious flavor
