  4. Stir-Fry Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a wok, add the marinated chicken, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until cooked through.

  6. Add Vegetables: Add bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas to stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Combine: Return chicken to the wok, pour in the sauce, and let everything simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  8. Final Toss: Add noodles and green onions, toss gently to combine, and heat through for 1 minute before serving.
