Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain, toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and set aside.
In a large bowl, season the chicken slices and shrimp with salt, pepper, and half of the minced ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the chicken.
In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the garlic, remaining ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and heat through.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
