Stir-Fried Chicken Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, cleaned and cubed
- 2 lbs rice noodles, sliced into strips and separated
- 4 eggs
- ½ C preserved cabbage, rinsed
- Lettuce
- Green onions
- 5 cloves garlic
- ½ bunch Cilantro roots or stems
- 1 tsp White peppercorns
- Nam chim (Sriracha + chicken sauce)
Directions
- Grind garlic, cilantro and white peppercorns into a paste
- Marinate the chicken in 1 tbs seasoning soy sauce, 1 tbs oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and the garlic-cilantro paste.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then coat with 1 tbs corn starch
- Heat 2 tbs oil in a wok until smoking, add the chicken, and fry until tender
- Remove chicken and add another tbs of oil. Heat until smoking and add the noodles
- Move the noodles around so they don't stick to each other, but allow them to brown in the pan
- When the noodles are well-browned, return the chicken and add the cabbage. Stir well to combine
- Add 2 tbs fish sauce, 2 tbs oyster sauce, and 1 tbs sugar
- Add the eggs individually and stir them around to combine
- Once the eggs are done, add the lettuce and green onions, combine well, and turn off the fire. The residual heat will cook them to the proper texture
