Step 1

If your noodles need to be cooked first before stir-frying, cook them now (usually just boil them for 1 minute). Rinse them under cold water and then set aside in a bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Cut them into small 1/2-1 inch pieces and place in a small bowl. Add the ingredients for the chicken marinade and mix well. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients

Step 3

Slice your bell pepper and onion into strips. For the onion, remove the root and then cut slices from root to tip. Mince the garlic and ginger and set aside

Step 4

Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside

Step 5

Once all the ingredients are prepared, heat up a large wok or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once the wok is hot, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and wait until it starts smoking. Swirl to coat the entire bottom of the wok

Step 6

Pour off any excess marinade from the chicken then add the chicken to the wok. Quickly toss and stir with a spatula to coat the chicken with oil. Cook for about 2 minutes while tossing and stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and place in a bowl and set aside

Step 7

Still over medium-high heat, add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and swirl to coat. Add the bell pepper and onion and toss and swirl to coat with oil. Cook for 2 minutes, just until onions start to soften. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Remove everything to a bowl and set aside

Step 8

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok, swirl to cover, then add the noodles. Cook for 1 minute over medium-high heat while tossing, stirring, and pulling to loosen the noodles up

Step 9

Add the chicken and vegetables back to the wok and stir to combine everything. Stir in the sauce, 1/4 at a time, and taste, adding until the desired flavor is reached. I usually end up adding 1/2 to 3/4 of the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then serve!
