03 - In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the bell pepper, zucchini, and cabbage for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Add garlic, ginger, and green onions, and cook for 1 minute more.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients.
05 - Return the chicken to the pan. Add cooked noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until coated and heated through. Adjust sauce amount to taste.
06 - Plate up and garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

# Additional Tips:

01 - The sauce has a strong flavor, so add gradually and taste as you go to adjust seasoning.
