- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1-2 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok over medium high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook 4-5 minutes each side, until done. Remove and let rest 5 minutes until slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- To pan, add veggies, garlic, and ginger, and cook until desired consistency (we like to leave a little crunch). Once veggies are done, remove from heat. To pan, add in chicken, cooked noodles, and sauce and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
