Instructions
Cook the egg noodles as per the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast thinly and marinate with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the red chilies, bell peppers, and carrot. Chop the spring onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Add the white parts of the spring onions, bell peppers, and carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Stir in the dark soy sauce, Szechuan sauce, sesame oil, and remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce. Mix well for 1 minute.
Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated. Sprinkle white pepper and adjust seasonings as needed.
