Ingredients
  

  • For the Stir Fry:
  • o 12 oz rice noodles
  • o 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • o 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized strips
  • o Salt and black pepper to taste
  • o 1 red bell pepper or ½ red and ½ green, sliced
  • o 1 cup broccoli chopped into small florets
  • o 4 oz shiitake or portobello mushrooms sliced
  • o 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • For the Sauce:
  • o ½ cup chicken broth
  • o 2 tablespoons soy sauce not low-sodium
  • o 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • o 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • For Finishing:
  • o Few drizzles of sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Rice Noodles:
  • o Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.
  • o Drain and set aside.
  • o If the noodles stick together, rinse them under cold water and toss with a small amount of oil to prevent clumping.
  • Prepare the Chicken:
  • o Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper.
  • o Warm 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a spacious skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • o Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Cook the Vegetables:
  • o In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  • o Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and mushrooms.
  • o Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • o Add the grated ginger and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Make the Sauce:
  • o In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Combine and Stir Fry:
  • o Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained rice noodles. Toss everything together until the chicken, vegetables, and noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Drizzle with a little sesame oil and toss again.
  • Serve:
  • o Serve the chicken stir fry with rice noodles hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Pair with a side of steamed dumplings or a light salad for a complete meal.
