Simple Spicy Rice Noodles with Chicken

Although this Simple Spicy Rice Noodles with Chicken recipe uses several ingredients, I used a few smaller dishes to prepare the freshly grated ginger, minced, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and more, ahead of time. I made this spicy rice noodle dish for my sister, who has helped watch my daughters 5 days a week once I stopped working remotely, and returned back to work in-person during the the pandemic. She absolutely loved how the flavor of the freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and the sambal oelek, coated the rice noodles and chicken to add flavor and spice in a fresh dish made from scratch that can be served for lunch or dinner any time of the year.
