The dish is made by stir-frying chicken with an array of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage, which add crunch and vibrant color. The noodles, slightly crispy on the edges, absorb the rich, flavorful sauce, which is made with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of garlic and ginger.
