📖 Instructions

1. First, get everything prepped. Dice your chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Aim for roughly half-inch cubes for even cooking.
2. Mince the garlic and ginger. Freshly minced is always best for flavor, trust me on this one! I usually use a microplane for the ginger, it’s quick and easy. But if you're using ginger paste, that's totally fine too – about a teaspoon should do the trick.
3. Chop the veggies. Dice the bell pepper and onion. If you're using any other veggies like carrots or peas, chop them up as well.
4. Cook the rice noodles. Follow the package instructions, but generally, you'll want to soak them in hot water until they're soft and pliable, but still have a bit of a bite. Don't overcook them or they'll turn to mush! No one wants mushy noodles.
5. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. I prefer peanut oil for stir-fries, but any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil will work.
6. Add the chicken to the wok and cook until it's cooked through and lightly browned. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
7. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside. Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok.
8. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
9. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
10. Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
11. Add the cooked chicken back to the wok. Now for the good stuff! Get ready to add those spices and flavour. That will turn this recipe into something unique!
12. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to your desired spice level. Remember, you can always add more later!
13. Pour the sauce over the chicken and noodles in the wok. Stir-fry everything together for about 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is evenly distributed and the noodles are coated.
14. Stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Give it one last stir, then remove from heat.
15. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
