Asian Rice Noodles with Chicken and Veggies

 

Feeling daring, I cooked a dish for the first time without taste testing, with a promise that if it turned out good I would post. Well since you are seeing this it turned out better than expected.   I LOVE a good Chow Fun noodle, the really thick noodle that I only seem to find in NYC or Chicago.  With the advice of a instagram friend I ventured into a wonderful grocery store with about 1000 noodles.

Directions

Step 1: Take a half a bag of your rice sticks and soak them in water for 30 minutes.  Drain and they are ready to use.  They will continue to cook and soften while they cook with the rest of your ingredients.

Step 2: Spray your pan with a little olive oil spray and brown up your chicken tenders, once you turn them add the drained noodles on top and cover your pan.

Step 3:  Since we are all about saving time, while your noodles soak and your chicken is browning, now is a good time to cut your veggies.  I used scallions and bok choy.  You can use bean sprouts, onions, mushrooms, be creative or use our recommendations.

Step 4:  Add your veggies on top of the noodles and pour the sauce on top. Cover and continue to cook on M/H heat.

Step 5: Stir to incorporate and cook until noodles are soft/firm and chicken is cooked.

Step 6: Enjoy!
