Instructions
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices, seasoning with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir frequently and cook until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Sauté the red bell pepper and shredded carrot for about 2 minutes until slightly softened. Push the vegetables to the side, then pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then stir them together with the vegetables.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the noodles, bean sprouts, and sliced green onions. Toss everything together to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, peanut butter, lime juice, gochujang, and soy sauce until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce is evenly distributed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and peanuts. Mix well to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro, roasted peanuts, and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
