  5. Clean and cut baby bok choy. Clean and pluck basil leaves.
  6. Mix all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
  7. Heat a large wok or skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat.
  8. Add marinated chicken to the wok; sear for about 2 minutes without stirring.
  9. Flip the chicken and sear for another minute until cooked almost through.
  10. Remove from pan and keep covered to retain heat.
  11. Clean any bits left in the skillet/wok if needed; heat remaining oil.

  13. Stir-fry for another minute before adding bok choy; continue stirring for another 30 seconds.
  14. Add drained rice noodles, cooked chicken along with its juices, Thai basil, and green onions into the skillet/wok.
