instructions
    1

    Begin by soaking the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes or until soft, then drain and set aside.

    2

    While the noodles are soaking, slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a little salt and pepper.

    3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

    4

    Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for about 5 to 7 minutes or until fully cooked, making sure to stir frequently.

    5

    Mince the garlic and ginger, then add them to the pan with the chicken. Stir and cook for another 1 minute.

    6

    Slice the bell pepper and carrot into thin strips, then add them to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crunchy.

    7

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, stirring to combine everything well.

    8

    Finally, add the soaked rice noodles to the skillet and toss them gently to coat with the sauce and combine with the chicken and vegetables.

    9

    Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the dish, stirring briefly to incorporate.

    10

    Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until everything is heated through, then serve immediately.
