   Make the seasoning sauce by combining 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 0.5 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp ground pepper.

   Drain the rehydrated noodles. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over high heat, add half of the ginger and minced garlic, stir until fragrant, then add the marinated chicken pieces.
   ≈3:04
7. 7
   Cook the chicken for 1 minute 30 seconds, then remove it (allowing one side to develop color). Return to the pan and stir well for another 1 minute 30 seconds, then set aside.
   ≈3:30
8. 8
   In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil and add the remaining ginger and garlic. When fragrant, add the onion and stir for 30 seconds, then add the carrot.
   ≈4:07
9. 9
   After cooking the carrot for 1 minute, add the Napa cabbage, spring onion sections, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes to allow the salt to help vegetables release their moisture quickly.
   ≈4:30
10. 10
    Add the drained noodles, seasoning sauce, and cooked chicken. Continue stir-frying for 3 minutes so the noodles absorb the vegetable moisture and become tender. If your vegetables are particularly dry, add 100ml of water as needed.
    ≈4:52
11. 11
    Be careful not to overcook the noodles as they will become mushy. Finally, add the toasted sesame seeds, spring onion, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Mix briefly and remove from heat.
