I decided to try this dinner option on a whim because I was feeling lazy tonight, and while cooking/tasting i feel there a few things you can also do to help this taste better and also beef it up to last longer. Otherwise, for a easy dinner asian option I would give this a solid 7/10, and after a few modifications this can easily reach 8/9 out of 10.

The meat and veg portion of this was a bit minimal so I ended up adding 3 sliced Bella mushrooms to it (all I had left in the fridge but more would be great!). Also I added some fresh chopped spring onions (also from aldi) bc I love onions and why not. Also hot pepper flakes 🔥 I added all of these in along w the noodles.
The sauce was a bit sweet, which maybe palatable for many but if you also happen to find it too sweet, try adding about 1 tsp of rice vinegar. If you do not have that- use normal vinegar. Mix well and taste- this should cut the sweetness. Adjust to your personal taste if necessary.
At the very end I added about 2 handfuls of spinach mix and stirred until the residual heat wilted them. Im always looking for ways to get more veg in and this fit perfectly.
Other Ideas if you want to boost this:

Add additional chopstick/sliced carrots or bell peppers! Make sure they are thinly sliced so they cook quickly with the rest of the ingredients.

Adding sliced jalapenos would also be good if you're looking to kick it up a notch.

God tier: serve with a side of kimchi 🔥🔥🔥

Make an easy sesame broccoli side dish:

In boiling salted water, add 1 head of chopped broccoli (bite size pieces) along w about 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil. Boil until tender (about 5-7 min) and remove/strain. The sesame oil will offer a 'slight' non overpowering flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Anyway that is my review and adjustments for this easy dinner option!!!
