Directions
Marinade: In a medium bowl, toss chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch and pepper; set aside for 10 minutes.
Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook 3 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water; drain noodles and return to pot. Add reserved water and contents of 1 seasoning packet (discard the other 2). Stir to coat well. Divide noodles into individual pasta bowls.
Sauce: Shake cans of green beans; drain into a colander set over a medium bowl, saving the bean sauce and setting the beans aside. Add oyster sauce, cornstarch and honey into the bean sauce; stir and set aside.
Stir Fry: Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add chicken; spread out to 1 layer and brown on 1 side for 2 minutes without stirring. Flip chicken and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink looking. Add onion, bell pepper, ginger and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until onion begins to soften. Stir sauce then pour into skillet. Increase heat to high and cook 1 to 2 minutes until bubbly and somewhat thickened. Gently stir in green beans; cook 1 minute until beans are hot and sauce is thickened. Spoon over noodles and serve with toppings.
