Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Large Skillet or Wok
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and soak in warm water for about 10 minutes, until soft; drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the thinly sliced chicken and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until nearly cooked through; remove briefly if the pan is crowded.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger, then the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  6. Add the drained rice noodles and toss everything together to combine; cook 1 to 2 minutes until heated through and sauce coats the ingredients.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soak noodles just until pliable to avoid overcooking.
  • Slice the chicken thinly for quick, even cooking.
  • Use a hot pan to get a quick stir-fry texture.
  • Adjust soy sauce for saltiness if not using low-sodium.
