Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them for about 3 minutes.

Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water.

Cut the chicken into thin strips.

Julienne the peppers and the onion.

Wash the carrots and, using a vegetable peeler, slice them into ribbons.

Set a wok over high heat and add the oil.

Add the chicken strips to the wok.

After the chicken starts to brown, add all vegetables. (I prefer to cook them quickly over high heat to keep them crunchy.)

You may use different vegetables or meats and add various spices and herbs.

For the vegetarian version of this dish, follow the same steps without adding meat.
