Preparation
Step 1
In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 2 quarts water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add noodles. Return to a rolling boil and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain noodles in a colander and rinse several times with cold water, shaking well to remove excess water. Return noodles to unwashed pan, add sesame oil, and toss until well combined.
Combine chicken, ginger, 1 teaspoon rice wine, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon salt, and white pepper in a shallow bowl. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a small bowl.
3.Heat wok (or 12-inch skillet) over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil; add red pepper flakes. Using a metal spatula, stir-fry 10 seconds or until pepper flakes are fragrant. Push flakes to sides of wok, add chicken mixture and spread evenly. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting chicken sear. Stir-fry 30 seconds more or until chicken browns. Add cabbage and mushrooms and stir-fry 1 more minute or until cabbage is just wilted. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a plate.
4.Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil into wok. Add noodles and stir-fry 15 seconds. Swirl soy sauce–rice wine mixture into wok and add scallions and chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining ¾ teaspoon salt. Stir-fry 1 to 2 more minutes or until chicken is cooked through and noodles are heated through.
