betty's bangkok rice noodle and chicken stir fry

Flat rice noodles covered with a Thai sauce and dotted with veggies and chicken. No thick gluggy or oily sauce here. This is a fresh fast dish that requires no rice and can be served on a plate or in a bowl. Vegetables are best just cooked and still slightly firm. Flat rice noodles are fresh, but need to be softened as they are a "brick" of noodles prior to soaking. This is my take on my friend Kae's Thai noodles. I double this recipe for my family (due to having 3 teenage sons who eat like they haven't eaten all day).
