For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with 200g of paneer, firm tofu, or a mix of mushrooms and baby corn. Marinate and cook them similarly.
Substitute chicken with 250g of prawns or shrimp. Marinate for only 5-10 minutes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they just turn pink.
Add 1-2 chopped red bird's eye chilies along with the green chilies, or increase the amount of Schezwan sauce to 4-5 tablespoons.
Ensure your store-bought Schezwan sauce is nut-free, as some commercial brands may contain peanuts or other nuts.

Yes, a large, deep non-stick skillet or frying pan is a good alternative. The key is to maintain very high heat to mimic the stir-frying effect of a wok. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Cook the noodles only until al dente (firm to the bite). Immediately drain and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process. Tossing them with a teaspoon of oil afterwards prevents them from clumping.
