Instructions
Cook noodles according to the instructions on the package. Drain and keep warm.
In a small bowl or a measuring glass cup, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Pour 1 tablespoon of the sauce over chicken and stir. Let it marinate while you prep the veggies.
In a large skillet or a wok, heat up olive oil. Add chicken and cook, stirring often until done. Remove it onto a plate and set aside.
Add onion and garlic into the skillet. Saute for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add carrots and cabbage and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is wilted.
Add chicken and cooked noodles. Pour sauce over the dish. Stir everything together.
Serve immediately or cool completely and divide into meal prep containers.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
The nutritional value is an estimate. It will depend on what type of noodles you will use.
The sambal oelek is an optional ingredient. It adds a little bit of heat to the dish. You can use crushed red pepper flakes instead.
