Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the noodles
Soak mung bean noodles in hot water until soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the chicken
In a steel pot, heat oil and add chicken marinated with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep aside.

In the same pot, add a little more oil. Add garlic and onion, sauté until fragrant. Next, add green chili, potato, tomato, and carrot. Cover and let them cook until softened.
