Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound boneless chicken cut into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp vingear
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 2-3 tbsp sambal oelek or 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
For the Noodles
  • 2 tbsp oil flavorless
  • 1 tbsp ginger, crushed
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • ½-1 cup broccoli florets
  • ½ cup carrots julienned
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 3/4 pound spaghetti prepared al dente

Equipment

  • Wok

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken for at least five minutes. In a wok heat the oil and add the ginger. Sauté for a minute, then add the chicken. Sauté on a medium high flame until the chicken is cooked through and the water has evaporated. This may take up to ten minutes. Once the water has mostly evaporated spread the chicken out in an even layer and let it sear for a minute or so on both sides so the chicken gets a nice golden crust.
  2. Then add the vegetables and sauté for a couple minutes. You want them to sear a bit but not cook through and get soggy.
  3. Add the prepared noodles and the sauce. Sauté for a few minutes, and then taste for salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Vaeriations:
These are spicy, and the main spice element is sambal oelek. I prefer using this because it has a nice spicy kick but also adds a great flavor. You can use 2 tbsp sriracha is you don't have sambal. I don't recommend using the spicy chilli sauces sold as ketchups. They have sugar added. 
I use spaghetti for convenience, but if you can get your hands on egg noodles or chow mien noodles use those. 
If you want to keep it less spicy just add 1 tablespoon of samba oelek.  
You can add any vegetables you like. Here are some suggestions:
baby corn, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, green onions, mushrooms, snap peas, purple cabbage, bok chow
