Instructions
- Add rice noodles to a large bowl and set in a clean sink. Place a seive or a colander gently over the noodles (depending on the noodles you're using)
- Fill a large pot with water and heat on high to bring to a boil. Add broccoli florets and let boil for 3 minutes. Drain cooked broccoli into the sieve or colander over the rice noodles so that the bowl with the noodles fills with hot water. Set noodles and broccoli aside and set a timer for time noted on rice noodle package, less 1 minute. Normally 6-7 minutes. (See notes for other noodles)
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning at 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and sriracha.
- Once chicken is mostly cooked, add garlic and ginger and mix. Saute for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add sauce to pan and coat with chicken. Add broccoli to the pan and stir. Once the noodles are done, drain from water and add to skillet. Stir to fully coat it all with sauce, let cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with toasted seasame seeds and serve!

- Chicken: Thighs are also great! Use some leftover chicken or turkey by adding it to the pan after the garlic and ginger have cooked.
- Broccoli: Use frozen broccoli by adding it to your boiling water and letting it boil for 4 minutes.
- Noodles: Use your favorite rice noodles - thick or thin. Just follow the instructions on the package for the cooking time in the boiling water. If using thicker noodles, you may need to adjust to cooking the noodles in boiling water and then you can add broccoli in the final 3 minutes and drain together add broccoli and pasta/noodles at the same time.
- To Use Pasta: Add pasta to the boiling water before the broccoli. Cook the pasta all but 1 minute of the cooking time. Add broccoli to the pasta with 3 minutes of pasta boiling time remaining. Then drain them together and add them to the pan together.
- Honey: Use your other favorite natural sweetener or brown sugar.
