Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces dried flat rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup tamarind paste
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Soak rice noodles in warm water for 20-30 minutes, or until softened but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the wok and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set.
- Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Add the drained noodles.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using) to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and chicken. Toss to coat everything evenly.
- Add bean sprouts and half of the chopped peanuts. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly, until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat. Stir in fresh cilantro and green onions.
- Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining peanuts and lime wedges.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your spice preference.
- For extra crunch, you can add some chopped carrots or bell peppers.
- If you cannot find tamarind paste, you can substitute with a mixture of lime juice and a little brown sugar.
- Ensure noodles are not overcooked during soaking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
