Instructions
Mix Sauce.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 1/2 minutes until starting to go golden.
Add chicken and cook just until the outside mostly changes from pink to white.
Add Sauce and cook for 1 minute until chicken is quite caramelised.
Add carrot and capsicum, cook for 1 minute (chicken should now be nicely caramelised, see video).
Push chicken and veg to the side to make enough space for the noodles. Add water, place noodles in water.
When the water starts simmering on the edges, leave noodles for 45 seconds then turn.
