Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz wide rice noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 Thai chilies, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 8 oz chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20-30 minutes until soft, then drain.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sliced Thai chilies; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add chicken slices and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Push ingredients to one side, add noodles to the pan, then pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar; toss everything together to combine well.
  7. Cook for another 2 minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce coats the ingredients.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in fresh Thai basil leaves and green onion.
  9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu and use soy sauce in place of fish sauce.
