Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water.
While the noodles are cooking, mix the sauce ingredients and set aside for later use.
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok and add the chicken seasoned with salt. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and then remove it from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the wok and stir-fry the grated ginger and minced garlic for a few seconds.
Add the carrots and cabbage and stir-fry over high heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly browned but still crispy.
Add the cooked noodles, chicken, green onions, and pour the peanut sauce all over. Mix everything to combine.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions. Serve with Chinese chilli oil on the side.

Notes

Adjust the spice by adding more or fewer dried chilli flakes according to your taste.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or additional vegetables.
