Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 bell pepper, julienned
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Noodles: Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add Chicken: Place the sliced chicken into the pan, cooking until it is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Push to Side: Push the chicken to one side of the skillet, and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble until fully cooked.
  6. Combine: Add the soaked noodles, bean sprouts, bell pepper, and green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together.
  7. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind paste, and brown sugar until blended.
  8. Add Sauce: Pour the sauce over the noodle mixture, stirring to ensure everything is well-coated. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  9. Finish: Sprinkle the crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro on top, mixing slightly.
  10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute tofu for chicken for a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding chili flakes or fresh chili peppers.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
