Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 g rice noodles
- 1 chicken breast, sliced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, cabbage, bell peppers)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
Garnish
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions, typically by soaking or boiling until tender but still chewy. Drain well and set aside to prevent clumping.
- Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir-fry garlic and vegetables: Add the minced garlic to the pan with the chicken and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until they become tender yet crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add noodles and sauce: Toss the cooked rice noodles into the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the mix.
- Toss and combine: Stir and toss all the ingredients together until the noodles are well coated with the savory sauce and everything is heated through evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Always check labels to ensure all sauces used are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
- For extra variety and nutrition, add mushrooms or broccoli to the vegetable mix during stir-frying.
- Adjust the seasoning by increasing or reducing the soy and oyster sauces or adding chili flakes for a spicier kick.
