Combine chicken and marinade ingredients in a bowl, cover, and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a hot wok until surface seems to shimmer slightly. Add chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove from wok and set aside.
Add remaining oil to hot wok with onion and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute or until onion is lightly browned. Toss in noodles, reserved chicken, wine or sherry, sugar, tamari, brown rice vinegar and sesame oil and stir-fry for 1 ½ minutes. Add bean sprouts, spring onion and half the chili and stir-fry for a further 30 seconds or until chicken is just cooked through and the noodles are hot.
Arrange noodles in bowls, top with remaining chili and serve immediately.
