Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
8 oz rice noodles
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup shredded carrots
4 green onions, chopped
¼ cup peanuts, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lime juice
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Prepare Noodles: Soak rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
Cook Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until no longer pink.
Add Eggs: Push chicken to one side of the pan. Pour in beaten eggs on the other side and scramble until cooked. Mix with chicken.
Add Noodles & Sauce: Add noodles, bean sprouts, carrots, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Toss well and cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing flavors to combine.
Finish & Serve: Remove from heat. Stir in green onions, peanuts, and cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges.
Notes
Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with tofu and use soy sauce instead of fish sauce.
Add extra vegetables such as bell peppers or snap peas for more crunch.
Garnish with extra cilantro, crushed peanuts, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for spice.
Serve immediately for the best noodle texture.
