- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small skinless, boneless chicken thigh (about 4 ounces), chopped into 1/4″ pieces
- 3 ounces squid, coarsely chopped

- Heat oil in a large skillet over high. Cook chicken, squid, and garlic, stirring, until chicken is almost cooked through and garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and sugar. Cook, stirring, until noodles start to brown and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in seasoning sauce and cabbage and radish, if using.
