Make
- Toss chicken with second part of corn starch.
- Heat wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute until chicken has a golden sear on the outside, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside.
- Return wok back to medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then onions to heated oil. Saute until softened, ~3 minutes.
- Next add carrots with water (or stock if you have extra) and saute until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Toss snow peas, baby corn, and chicken into the wok. Push everything to the sides, forming a hole in the middle. Give the sauce a stir to get any of the corn starch that has sunk to the bottom. Pour sauce into the hole and then wait for it to darken and bubble.
- Add in noodles and then toss until all the ingredients are coated. Remove from heat and play chef - season to taste with more soy sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, or whatever you have in your pantry.
- Enjoy and slurp away!
