Instructions
- Prepare rice noodles according to package directions, taking care they are a slightly crunchy/al dente because they will cook more in the sauce. Rinse noodles in cold water, drain and toss in with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
- Add all of the Sauce Ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
- While rice noodles are soaking, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable/peanut oil in a deep large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute then continue to stir fry just until cooked. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
- Heat one tablespoon oil in same skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add bell peppers and shallots and sauté 1 minute. Add carrots and garlic and sauté 1 additional minute. Reduce heat to medium and pour beaten eggs over vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, just until scrambled.
- Add sauce and noodles and increase heat to medium-high. Toss until evenly combined and continue to stir and cook until noodles are al-dente, 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken, bean sprouts, green onions and peanuts and heat through.
- Taste and add one additional tablespoon lime juice if desired for more tang (optional, I prefer it this way) and chili sauce to taste. Top with cilantro and serve.
Notes
- *Rice noodles can usually be found in the Asian section of your grocery store. Sometimes they are called stir-fry rice noodles. If you can't find them, then Amazon is a great option.
- I have updated this recipe to include 1.5X the amount of sauce on 10-26-21 per reader requests. If you made it previous to this date and prefer the original, here it is:
- 1/4cup packed brown sugar
- 2tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2tablespoons fish sauce
- 2tablespoons lime juice
- 2tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 1tablespoon chili paste like Sambal Oelek
- 1/2tsp EACH dried basil, ground coriander, ground ginger
- 1/4teaspoon pepper
