Cook the whole wheat noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breast into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the wok and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken strips to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Add the green bell pepper, carrot, and cabbage to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender yet still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked noodles to the wok.
Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and white vinegar, tossing everything to combine evenly.
Season with black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes, stirring well to distribute the flavors.
Finally, add the chopped spring onions and give the noodles one last toss.
Serve hot, garnished with extra spring onions or chili flakes if desired.
