Make the chow Mein sauce and set aside (mix all into a bowl)
Place a wok on medium-high heat, add oil and heat until hot. Add the chopped garlic and stir in the oil for about 10 seconds, working as fast as you can so it doesn’t burn.
Add sugar snap peas and cook for a minute or two (the idea here is to cook the harder vegetables first)
Add the chopped bell peppers and stir fry for another 1 minute, then go on to add the chopped green peppers, broccoli and chillies, season with salt and pepper and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
Then add the drained cooked noodles, stir into the vegetable to combine. Lastly, pour the chow mein sauce over the noodles and stir well to combine.
