Ingredients

Scale

150 g (5.5 oz) Chicken breast or thigh: Thinly sliced for quick cooking
120 g (4.5 oz) Rice vermicelli noodles (dry): Soaked and drained
1 Small carrot: Julienned for a crisp bite
½ Onion: Thinly sliced for a mild flavor
10–12 Green beans: Halved for a fresh crunch
1 Red chili pepper: Thinly sliced for heat (optional)
2–3 Spring onions: Cut into 2” pieces for garnish
2–3 tbsp Vegetable oil: For frying

Stir Fry Sauce:

2 tbsp Light soy sauce
2 tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tsp Dark soy sauce
1 tsp Sesame oil
¼ tsp White pepper

Chicken Marinade:

1 tbsp Light soy sauce
1 tsp Sesame oil
¼ tsp White pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Soak the Noodles

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 4-5 minutes until softened. Drain and set them aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Thinly slice the chicken breast or thigh and marinate it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the onions, spring onions, and red chili pepper thinly. Julienne the carrots and cut the green beans in half.

Step 4: Stir Fry the Chicken

Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 5: Add Vegetables

Add the green beans, carrots, and onions to the wok. Stir fry for another minute until the vegetables start to soften but still retain some crunch.

Step 6: Combine with Noodles

Add the drained rice noodles to the wok and pour the stir fry sauce over the top. Toss everything together gently to avoid breaking the noodles. Cook for an additional minute until well combined.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Finally, toss in the spring onions and give everything a final stir. Serve immediately with extra chopped spring onions for garnish.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables will give the dish a better texture and flavor.
Don’t overcook the noodles: Be sure to only soak the rice noodles for a few minutes to avoid them becoming too soft.
Customize your veggies: Feel free to swap out vegetables with whatever you have on hand, like bell peppers or snap peas.
