Instructions

Cook chow mein noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
In a bowl, mix sliced chicken with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add garlic, ginger, and vegetables. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return chicken to the pan. Add cooked noodles and pour sauce over the top.
Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
