Instructions
- Start by soaking your noodles in room temp water in a bowl according to package instructions. Drain them. Sprinkle some oil and toss them a bit to prevent them from sticking.
- Prepare your delicious sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Into a pan on medium-high heat drizzled with oil, stir-fry your chicken breasts for 6 minutes on both sides.
- Transfer your chicken from the pan and add some more oil and toss in the garlic till it lightly browns and dump in the rest of the veggies with the peppers and leave them to cook for a couple of minutes.
- Into the same pan with the veggies add the scrambled eggs, on the empty side and cook them thoroughly.
- Return back the chicken into the pan and add the noodles with the sauce. Mix everything together to thoroughly spread the heavenly flavor within the ingredients. Cook till the noodles are soft enough. Serve and enjoy.
