Instructions
- Slice chicken thighs or chicken breast against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces. Transfer chicken slices to a large bowl and add marinade ingredients as listed above. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, soak vermicelli rice noodles in hot boiling water for 1-2 minutes max until noodles are loosened, limp and slightly softened.
- Strain the noodles and rinse under cold water to remove excess water. Shake out any excess liquids and set aside.

- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble with the other ingredients.
- Next toss in bok choy and bean sprouts. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 2 minutes.
- Toss in the noodles with the noodle sauce with other ingredients. Use a pair of clean kitchen scissors to cut them if they are too long to mix. Remove off heat and enjoy!
