Begin by soaking the rice noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well.
Add the drained noodles to the wok, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to combine well, ensuring the noodles are coated in the sauce.
Add the Thai basil leaves and gently mix into the noodles, allowing the basil to wilt slightly.
Transfer the drunken noodles to serving plates and serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges on the side.
