Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams gluten-free rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 200 grams chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium bell pepper, julienned
- 100 grams green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the rice noodles in hot water for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are soft but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the wok. Stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
Add the julienned carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, along with the drained noodles.
Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Add the bean sprouts, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce and heated through.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional sliced green onions if desired.
