1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced against the grain
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp tamari

For the sauce

3 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, divided
2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned or cut into thin matchsticks
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Cook the rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until just tender with a slight chew, typically 4–6 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with a small drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and 1 tsp cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
