📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prep your veggies. Once boiling, turn off heat and add the noodles. Stir the noodles with a chopstick to loosen the noodles for up to ⏱️ 1 minute (no more), just until the noodles are separated – don’t overcook! Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain VERY WELL then drizzle with sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together; set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large wok or heavy bottom skillet/saucepan with deep sides (stainless steel or cast iron). Once very hot, add the well-drained noodles to the pan and stir fry ⏱️ 2 minutes, transfer to a plate.
3
In a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together; set aside.

While the chicken is still on the cutting board, pat dry and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
5
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat to the now empty skillet. Add chicken and let sear for a couple minutes, then continue to cook and stir until cooked through, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; don’t wipe out skillet.

Add an additional 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Once hot, add bell peppers, carrots and white parts of the green onions and stir fry one minute. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add the cabbage and green parts of green onion and sauté until cabbage begins to wilt, approx. ⏱️ 1 - 2 minutes.
