For the stir-fry sauce, mix together the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and Maggi seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
To marinate the chicken, add the sliced chicken thighs to a bowl with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of the stir-fry sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Make sure all your ingredients are ready before cooking: the sauces are prepared, the chicken is marinated, the vegetables are cut and washed, the garlic is minced, and the noodles are separated.
Once ready, heat your wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of peanut oil.
Working in 1–2 portions at a time, add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, moving it often. Then add 1 egg per portion and stir through the chicken.
Add the choi sum and toss for 20 seconds before adding the garlic and white pepper. Continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add the rice noodles, a pinch of sugar, and a little more oil if needed. Toss and fry the noodles for 2 minutes.
Pour the stir-fry sauce around the outside of the wok and toss the noodles well to coat.
Cook for 2 more minutes, then serve with Prik Nam on the side.
