# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Cook dried rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, toss chicken slices with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, water, rice vinegar, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
05 - Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry bell pepper and snap peas for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
06 - Return chicken to the pan, add sliced spring onions, and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat and simmer for 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
07 - Incorporate the cooked rice noodles or leftover pasta, tossing thoroughly to combine and heat through.
08 - Plate immediately, garnished with additional spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
