  5. Heat canola oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chili mixture; sauté for about 30 seconds.
  6. Add the marinated chicken to the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
  7. Stir in sliced Chinese broccoli and baby corn; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
  8. Add the prepared noodles and sauce mixture to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes.
