Make the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, sriracha, and red pepper flakes. -
Cook the Noodles:
Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with about 6 cups of boiling water. Add a pinch of salt and stir occasionally until noodles soften (around 10 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly. Transfer the noodles to a mixing bowl, toss with shredded chicken, and drizzle with sesame oil. -
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

Combine Everything:
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring over high heat until bubbling (about 1 minute). Add the noodles and chicken to the skillet, tossing to combine and heat through (about 1 minute). -
