Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes or until they are pliable. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and sauté for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red chili and onion to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, baby corn, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the tofu cubes. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the drained rice noodles to the pan, followed by the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until the noodles absorb the sauce and the dish is heated through.
Add the basil leaves and green onions to the pan. Toss to combine and let the basil wilt slightly.
Serve hot and enjoy your high protein drunken noodles!
