Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 pieces Thai bird's eye chilies
- 200 grams chicken breast (or tofu for vegetarian)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes or until soft, then drain and set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced Thai bird's eye chilies, stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken or tofu to the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through or the tofu is golden, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender.
In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Pour this sauce over the stir-fry, stirring to combine.
Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the pan, tossing everything well to ensure the noodles are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
Stir in the Thai basil leaves and cook for an additional minute, just until the basil is wilted.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles before eating. Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more chilies if desired.
