Noodles:

Chicken and Vegetables:
1pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1cup shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1cup snap peas or snow peas
1/4cup green onions (sliced)
For the sauce:
1/4cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, then add the garlic, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender.
Combine everything: Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss to coat. Add the cooked noodles and green onions, and stir-fry for 1–2 more minutes until everything is heated through and well coated. Serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu.
Add more red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Leftovers make a great next-day lunch and reheat well in the microwave or skillet.
