Step 4.Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic and the onion and stir-fry for a minute. Add the chicken and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked. Add the carrot and stir-fry for another minute or until the chicken is cooked. Spread the ingredients out to make some space in the middle of the pan. Add the remaining oil into the space, then pour in the eggs. Spread the eggs out and allow them to set before breaking them up and tossing them through the rest of the ingredients. Add the noodles and the stir-fry sauce and toss until well combined. Then toss through the chilli and spring onion. Divide the noodles among plates and serve.
