Step 1
Boil the egg noodles in salted water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add chicken pieces and stir-fry until no pink remains and edges are golden, 6–7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in chili paste, then add cooked noodles, soy sauce, and ketchup. Toss constantly until noodles are glossy and well coated, 2 minutes.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over the top and taste; adjust chili paste or soy sauce as needed for balance.

Serve hot alongside fresh cucumber slices and shrimp crackers on the side.
