Prepare the sauce with oyster sauce, soy sauce, duck soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.

Pour out the aromatics and add another tablespoon of oil to stir fry the vegetables, seasoning with a little sugar and salt until slightly soft.

Remove the vegetables and add oil back to the pan to stir fry the chicken.

When the chicken is half cooked, add dark soy sauce and continue to stir fry until fully cooked.

Pour out the chicken, add oil back to the pan, and stir fry the noodles until hot.

Add the prepared sauce to the noodles and stir until evenly colored.
