13 - 1 tablespoon honey
14 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
15 - ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the bell pepper, zucchini, and cabbage for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic, ginger, and green onions, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, and chili flakes if using.
05 - Return the chicken to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the sauce gradually, tasting as you go to achieve your desired flavor intensity. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until well coated and heated through.
06 - Transfer to serving plates and garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - The sauce is quite potent, so add it gradually to the stir-fry according to your taste preference.
