In a medium bowl, combine the oyster sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of the chili paste, and the lemongrass. Mix well.
Step 2
Add the chicken and toss.
Step 3
Transfer to a large plastic food storage bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 5 hours.

Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let stand for 30 minutes, until soft; drain well.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the chicken stock, salt, and remaining chili paste to a simmer.

In the same pan, heat the peanut oil over high heat.
