Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom (about 2 tablespoons). Wait until the oil shimmers slightly.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until fully cooked.
  3. Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until softened.
  5. Next, toss in the red and yellow bell peppers. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  6. Add the julienned carrots to the skillet, and continue stir-frying for about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour over vegetables.
  9. Allow the vegetable mixture to simmer for about 1 minute.
  10. Add a splash of water and mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Slowly add to the skillet while stirring.
  11. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  12. While the chicken and veggies are melding, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and toss with sesame oil.
  13. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and gently toss everything together for 2-3 minutes.
  14. Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top before serving.
