Place rice noodles in a large bowl of hot tap water and soak for 10 minutes while you prepare remaining ingredients.
In a small bowl whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch; set aside. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag with remaining cornstarch and toss to coat.
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
Add chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add remaining oil to pan, followed by ginger, garlic, carrot, snap peas and kale; cook for 2 to 3 minutes until kale is slightly wilted.
Move chicken and vegetables to one side of skillet, pour in egg and scramble gently.
Drain noodles (it's ok if they are a little wet) and add to skillet with the sauce and shrimp.
Continue to cook, stirring all ingredients together frequently until heated through and noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. If mixture appears dry, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to the skillet as it cooked.
Serve garnished with chopped nuts, cilantro, fresh lime and a healthy squirt of Sriracha, if desired.
