Let’s get started with the ingredients needed:
- 400g boneless chicken cut into chunks (breast or thigh)
- 500g Rice noodle (enough for about 4-5 servings)
- Sliced vegetables (garlic, onions, scotch bonnets, green pepper, carrots, spring onions)
- Lime/lemon (optional)
- Two tablespoons Oyster sauce
- Two tablespoons dark soy sauce
- Thyme
- Curry powder
- Black pepper
- One teaspoon of salt
- Four chicken bouillon cubes
- One teaspoon of corn flour
STEPS
Marinate your chicken with a squeeze of one lime, a dash of black pepper, a dash of thyme, one tablespoon of soy sauce, one chicken bouillon and one teaspoon of corn flour, mix and let it sit for atleast 15-30 minutes.
Next, heat up your wok/pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil, add in the chicken and stir fry till it’s golden brown, take it off the pan and set it aside. In the same oil, add in your onions and garlic, sauté them till the onions becomes a bit translucent, then add in your scotch bonnet, fry for some seconds and then add in your carrots and green pepper, fry for about a minute or two.
As your veggies are frying, add hot boiled water to your rice noodles, the noodles should be completely submerged in the water, give them a toss and let them sit for about 1-4 minutes. Depending on how done you want them to be, you can let them sit longer, mine sat for about 3 minutes, drain them afterwards.
Check on your veggies, add in your chicken and all the seasoning ( oyster sauce, soy sauce, the remaining bouillons, salt, curry powder, some black pepper), mix everything and fry for some seconds and then add in your now soft and drained noodles. Mix! Mix! Mix! And Mix!
Make sure everything is well incorporated and then taste to see if it needs more seasoning, you can aslo add a little drizzle of water if it’s too dry to make it more moist. You can add in your spring onions at this point and also another squeeze of lime/lemon if you want.
That’s it, your rice noodle stir fry is ready! Remember you can use any vegetable and protein of your choice for this, I just used whatever I had in the fridge 😁.
I really hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy! 😁
