Instructions

In a bowl, combine the egg white, cornstarch, shaoxing wine, salt and pepper. Add the sliced chicken and marinate for at 5 to 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and water.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess marinade from the chicken. Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until it's no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, minced garlic, chopped chillies, and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry until the pepper has softened and the garlic is aromatic.
Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss everything together, making sure the noodles and chicken are well-coated with the sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat. Mix in the chopped green onions. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Marination Magic: Allowing the chicken to marinate, even if it's just for a few minutes, ensures it absorbs the flavors more effectively.
Substitute Alert: In case of unavailability, Shaoxing wine can be replaced with dry sherry or a dry white wine.
Heat Control: For those who prefer a less spicy dish, feel free to reduce the quantity of red chilies.
Bell Pepper Colors: Different colored bell peppers can be used for a more colorful and visually pleasing dish.
