Instructions
- Prepare dry rice noodles as per packet directions.
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat, add garlic and red chilies, stir-fry until aromatic or 10–20 seconds.
- Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they’re nearly done.
- Add sauces and seasonings: sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, flavor seasoning, and oyster sauce. Make sure each piece of chicken is coated with sauce.
- Add the carrots, baby corns, finger roots, and fresh peppercorns, cooking for about 10–20 seconds.

Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Rosdee flavor seasoning - A popular Thai seasoning that boosts the dish's overall flavor. Get it at Amazon!
- Use fresh rice noodles if you can find them for the most authentic taste. Dry rice noodles work perfectly too.
- Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Feel free to swap with other proteins or use tofu for a vegetarian version.
