Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer; cook until chicken is fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the pot.

Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper; simmer for 5 minutes.

Add cooked noodles to the pot and mix well to combine.

Serve hot, garnished with green onions, cilantro, and chili flakes.
