- 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
For the sauce:

- 1/2 fresh lime
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
For the vegetables & noodles:
- 150g dried noodles

How to Make It
1. Cook the dried noodles with the package instructions, and make sure to add some sesame oil after you drain them. It is very important to refrain from rinsing the noodles.
2. For the chicken, use a wok or a large frying pan to heat 1 or 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat and add the chicken strips you have seasoned with salt and black pepper.
3. Fry them for a minute until they get golden on one side and flip them. As the other side cooks to a golden hue, add minced garlic, chili, and ginger. Cook until the spices get brown, and remove the chicken from the wok or pan.
4. For the sauce, use dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and the juice from half a lime together, and combine them with brown sugar and white pepper in a small bowl.
5. Use the same wok or pan you did for the chicken to cook the vegetables. Add the carrot and red pepper and shake regularly to get an even char.
6. Add sliced mushrooms and fry for another minute or two. Make sure to shake the wok or pan often. Finally, add the snow peas and green onion and fry until they get soft.
7. Mix the cooked chicken, garlic, chili, and ginger mixture with the cooked noodles and the sauce. Make sure the sauce is evenly distributed.
8. Put the stir-fry on serving plates or a large platter and garnish it with diced green onion, crushed toasted peanuts, and sesame seeds. Serve it right away to enjoy the flavorful and spicy chicken noodle stir-fry!
