Directions:
Place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle baking soda all over the surface. Toss with fingers to coat as evenly as possible. Refrigerate 20 minutes for slices. Rinse well in colander to remove baking soda. Shake off then pat away excess water.

Pour 1 tablespoon of sauce over the chicken, mix to coat, set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain.

Heat oil in wok or large fry pan over high heat. Add garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds or until it starts to turn golden. Add chicken and stir fry until the surface gets a tinge of browning but inside is still raw, about 1 minute.

Add the cabbage, carrot, and the white pieces of shallots. Stir fry for 1 ½ minutes until the cabbage is mostly wilted. Add the noodles, Sauce and water. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing constantly. Add bean sprouts and remaining shallots/scallions. Toss through for 30 seconds or until the bean sprouts just start to wilt. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
