Start by marinating the chicken: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix well and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the spring onions and separate the white parts from the green parts.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and white parts of the spring onions. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, add 1 tablespoon of gluten-free soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of kecap manis to the pan. Stir well and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
In a separate pot, bring 500 ml of chicken broth to a boil. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Add the bok choy and cook for about 2 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
To assemble the dish, divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and pour over the hot broth with bok choy.
Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
