Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz rice noodles
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized strips
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper or 1/2 red and 1/2 green, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli chopped
  • 4 oz shiitake or portobello mushrooms sliced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce regular, not low-sodium
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • A few drizzles of sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Rice Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles by following the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
  • Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, pour in the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, chopped broccoli, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables become tender yet remain crisp.
  • Add the Ginger: Add the freshly grated ginger to the vegetables and stir-fry for an additional minute to release the fragrance.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, soy sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and add the cooked rice noodles. Toss everything together, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken, noodles, and vegetables evenly. Let it cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle a bit of sesame oil over the stir fry for added flavor.
  • Serve: Divide the stir fry among plates or bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite garnishes like chopped scallions or sesame seeds!
