Cut chicken into cubes. Mix marinade ingredients and toss chicken to coat. Set in refrigerator 15 minutes while prepping veggies and sauce.

For the sauce in a small bowl combine hoisen sauce, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, sugar & water. Mix and set aside.

In another small bowl combine 2 tsp cornstarch with 4 tsp of water, mix and set aside.

Rinse green onions. Chop green onions, onion, and garlic.

On medium high/high heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok. making sure to swirl and coat all sides. Add chicken and cook for a couple minutes until color changes and chicken is 80% cooked. Remove chicken from wok. Clean wok.

Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to clean wok. Add garlic, green onion and red pepper flakes. Stir fry for 15-20 seconds. Return chicken to the pan. Cook 5 minutes longer. Push chicken to sides of pan and pour sauce mixture in center. Stir really well & add water and cornstarch mixture stirring until all is coated. Add onion and bean sprouts and cook for a few more minutes.

I started my water to cook the linguine after i was done mixing the chicken in the marinade. When the linguine is done cooking 8-10 minutes, drain. Return pot to stove add 2 tbsp soy sauce and sprinkle 1/2 tsp sugar in pot. return linguine and toss until well coated in the sugar/soy mixture.
