Preparation
  1. Cook noodles in a large pot according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. 
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine seasoning, water, 1 tbsp oil, soy sauce, and tomato paste. The mixture will be thick; set it aside. 
  3. Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in Wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden on all sides, about 6 min. It’s OK if it’s not fully cooked yet. 
  4. Meanwhile, thinly slice peppers and zucchinis.  
  5. Add sliced veggies to Wok. Stir-fry until veggies are tender-crisp and chicken is cooked through, about 4 min.  
  6. Add noodles and sauce. Using tongs, toss to combine, 1 min. The wok will be full! Add toppings, if desired. Serve immediately. 
Tips

When cooking chicken pieces, you’ll know it’s time to flip when it easily releases from the Wok.  

Look for rice noodles in the international section of the grocery store. Avoid thin vermicelli noodles and opt for wider noodles such as those used in Pad Thai.
