Description

A delightful and flavorful stir-fried noodle dish from Thailand, featuring tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, crushed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until softened, then drain.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the pan, then pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until cooked.
  4. Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds to release its aroma.
  5. Add the soaked noodles, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to combine and heat through.
  6. Stir in the bean sprouts and green onions, cooking for an additional minute until everything is well combined.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with crushed peanuts and lime wedges for a fresh burst of flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water or lime juice.
