Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with white pepper, soy sauce, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and tenderize the meat.

- Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve the stir fry noodles warm for the best taste and texture experience.
