Description

This vibrant dish brings together the simplicity of stir-fried chicken with the delicate texture of rice vermicelli noodles. The real star is the bold, tangy dressing made from soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and aromatics like galangal and garlic. It&# 226;ÂÂs a quick, flavorful meal that feels light yet satisfying, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a light lunch. The crunch of fresh cilantro, green onions, and ground peanuts adds wonderful texture, while the optional chili oil gives it a gentle kick. Easy to customize and ready in under thirty minutes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, powdered galangal (or ginger), black pepper, and chili oil to create the marinade.
  3. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  5. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add the chicken along with any remaining marinade.
  6. Stir-fry the chicken until it is cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the chicken and sauce.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro, green onions, and ground peanuts.
  9. Serve immediately, garnishing each portion with French-fried onions on top for added crunch.
