Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse them well under cold water, boil for about 2-3 minutes, and then drain. Set aside.
Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and set aside.
Chop the capsicum, carrot, and cabbage into thin julienne strips. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the spring onions thinly, keeping the white and green parts separate.
Heat olive oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until they are cooked through and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add sesame oil and bring it up to medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the vegetables (capsicum, carrot, and cabbage) to the pan, stir-frying for about 3-4 minutes until they are just cooked but still crisp.
Add in the cooked shirataki noodles and the stir-fried chicken strips. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and chili sauce. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Finally, add the sliced spring onion whites and stir for another minute.
Garnish with spring onion greens before serving hot.
