• tiempo total: 11 minutes

Ingredientes

200g dried rice noodles (rice stick noodles often sold as “Pad Thai” noodles)

Stir-fry Sauce

3 tbsp oyster sauce

1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp water

Stir-fry

2 - 3 tbsp neutral oil

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 - 2 red chillies, finely chopped

1/2 onion, sliced

250g chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces

2 tsp fish sauce

1/2 carrot, cut into matchsticks

1 handful Chinese broccoli, sliced

2 - 3 spring onions, cut into 3cm lengths

1 handful of Thai basil leaves

Instrucciones

Soak the noodles in boiling water for 5-10 minutes until softened, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. If using fresh noodles, simply separate them and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the drunken noodle sauce and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and chillies, stir-frying until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Toss in the sliced onion and cook for an additional minute. Add the chicken and fish sauce, stir-frying until the chicken is cooked through, around 2 minutes. Next, add the carrot and Chinese broccoli, cooking until they begin to soften. Throw in the spring onions and noodles, pouring over the drunken noodle sauce. Stir-fry everything together until well combined, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the Thai basil leaves, and toss until just wilted. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Note - use 400g fresh rice noodles if you can’t find dried rice noodles.
