Preparation

Step 1

Bring medium size pan of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook them on medium heat for about 2 to 4 minutes (depending on thickness of noodles), or until barely tender. Drain and stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper then place it into the hot skillet and stir-fry about 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add bell peppers, broccoli and mushrooms and saute 1 minute then add ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl combine chicken stock, soy sauce, ketchup and cornstarch.
Add chicken, noodles, and broth mixture to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until chicken is hot and fully cooked through.
Right before serving drizzle sesame oil and season to taste with salt and pepper as desired.
Recipe Notes
Straight cut rice noodles can be purchased in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
*If using low sodium soy sauce or broth, be sure to season to taste with salt or the recipe will be lacking in flavor.
