Ingredients
- 7 to 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 3 to 4 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon roasted garlic paste
- 1 to 3 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
- 1/2 large yellow onion
- 1 red pepper
- 1/2 pound (8 ounces) chicken thighs
- 3 green onions
- 1 bundle thai basil
Instructions
- Prepare the rice noodles by soaking or boiling according to package directions, ensuring they are tender before draining.
- In a liquid measuring cup, mix together the oyster sauce, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and hot water; set aside.
- Heat the vegetable or sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
- Add roasted garlic paste and chili garlic sauce, stirring constantly for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, reducing heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Incorporate sliced onion and red pepper, stir-frying for 1 minute; then push vegetables to the edges and add the chicken in the center.
- Sear the chicken for about 30 seconds, then pour in the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (2-4 minutes).
- Add the cooked noodles, sauce mixture, and green onions, increasing heat to high and tossing to coat well. Let sit for 10 to 20 seconds without stirring, then toss again until the sauce reduces and the noodles are well-coated, approximately 1-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately add basil leaves, tossing until just wilted (about 20 seconds). Serve immediately.
