Begin by cooking the Hakka noodles. In a large pot, boil 1 liter of water with a pinch of salt. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 6-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken strips and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
Add the cooked vegan chicken strips back to the pan along with the cooked Hakka noodles. Toss everything together.
Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce. Add the salt and pepper. Toss well to combine all the ingredients evenly with the sauces.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well mixed.
Transfer the Vegan Chicken Hakka Noodles to a serving platter and garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, vegan-friendly chicken Hakka noodles.
