Prepare the chow mein sauce
Boil noodles
In a big pot, add enough water to boil the noodles. Once it comes to a boil, add the noodles, and after 1-2 minutes, drain them using a strainer. Rinse with cold water and set them aside.
Stir Fry
In a wok or a pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and cook the marinated chicken. It'll take 5-6 minutes on medium-high heat. Keep it stirring constantly.
Once cooked, take out the chicken and, in the same pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and then minced garlic. Give it about 30 seconds, then add all of the vegetables except for green parts of the spring onions. Save those for later.
Stir-fry vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side, then add boiled noodles. Let the noodles sit for 30 seconds before moving them around for the restaurant-style burnt flavor.
Add sauce, mix it well, add cooked chicken, and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle the green part of the spring onion and enjoy.
