Reheat the wok, add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft. Add the bok choy and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until the bok choy is wilted. Add the noodles, toss well and then transfer to serving plates.
4. Blend the reserved marinade with the cornstarch and water. Add to the wok and cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens. Return the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until heated through. Spoon onto the bok choy mixture on the serving plates.
