Making Chicken Stir Fry Noodles
Heat 1tsp oil over medium heat in a skillet. Spread the chicken in a single layer. Season it with salt and pepper. Stir and cook until the chicken is golden. Remove it to a plate.
In the same skillet, add 2 teaspoon oil. Add garlic and cook it for 30 seconds.
Add onions and cook until they are translucent.
Add carrots, cabbage, and bell peppers. Season it with ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until the veggies are slightly soft.
Add the chicken and noodles back to the skillet.
Give the sauce a quick mix and add it to the skillet. Toss and cook it for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles, chicken and veggies. Remove from heat.

Notes
Prepare all the ingredients (like chopped vegetables, cooked noodles, sauces, and sliced chicken) before turning on the heat.
Make sure your wok or skillet is hot. Cook everything on medium-high heat.
Stir fry needs to be cooked fast. Toss continuously to keep everything moving so that it gets cooked evenly.
Avoid overloading the wok or the pan. For stir-frying there should be enough space for everything to get moving and cooked. You can cook the recipe in two batches if you have a small skillet/wok.
Make sure the chicken is at room temperature. Do not overcook the chicken otherwise, it will turn hard and rubbery.
Cut the vegetables in uniform sizes so that they cook evenly. The vegetables should have a slight crunch in them. Do not overcook the vegetables otherwise they will turn soggy.
You can double the quantity of sauce.
Skip the addition of red pepper flakes if you do not prefer spicy dishes.
