Start by slicing the boneless chicken thighs into thin strips. Finely mince the garlic and shallot, and slice the spring onions diagonally. Peel and julienne the cucumber. Set aside for later use.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the eggless noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss them with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallot, stir-frying until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken to the wok, stir-frying until cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the chicken stock, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Allow it to cook and thicken slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing them in the sauce until well-coated. Add the cooked chicken back to the wok and mix until evenly distributed.
Divide the noodle mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced spring onions and julienned cucumber.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor, if desired.
