Cook the noodles in boiling, salted water until soft. Mis with 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil.
Rinse the leeks and cut into rings. Clean the mushrooms and cut into pieces. Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into strips. Quickly brown on both sides in 2 tablespoons of hot oil, then remove from the pan. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil, then sauté the leeks and the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and mix with the chicken. Season with soy sauce.
