Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- For the Noodles:
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 4 cups water
- For the Vegetables:
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- For Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 4-6 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Incorporate the cooked noodles into the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time; store the chicken and noodles separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh.
- Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on seasonal availability.
