1. Cook rice sticks in boiling water until tender,3-4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again, then divide among 4 large soup bowls.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté, turning to brown both sides, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. During the last couple of minutes, sprinkle with garlic, turning chicken a few times. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice.
3. Scatter chicken, carrots and onions over the noodles, dividing evenly among the soup bowls. Put chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add fish sauce and ginger; simmer for about 5 minutes.
