In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar; set aside.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan; add 2 carrots cut into long thin pieces and 10 diagonally sliced snow peas; stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

Add 6 chopped garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pan; sauté for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often.

Return the marinated chicken to the pan and add the cooked fettuccine; toss to mix well with the chicken and vegetables.
