Rice noodles with chicken and vegetables is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines tender chicken thighs, fresh vegetables, and flavorful rice noodles in a savory soy sauce blend. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner and can be easily customized with your favorite vegetables.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking the noodles in hot water for about 8-10 minutes until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
- While the chicken is marinating and the noodles are soaking, shred the cabbage, julienne the carrots, and thinly slice the onions.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. Continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked rice noodles and chicken back into the pan with the vegetables.
- Toss everything together well to combine, ensuring the noodles and chicken are evenly mixed with the vegetables.
8. Finish and Serve:
- Adjust the seasoning if needed with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper.
- Serve the rice noodles with chicken and vegetables hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a wedge of lime if desired.
Tips:
- Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes before cooking. This helps to soften them and reduces cooking time.
- Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Stir-frying the vegetables separately allows each type to cook properly and retain their crisp-tender texture.
- Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to achieve a beautiful sear on the chicken and vegetables.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
This recipe for rice noodles with chicken and vegetables is not only easy to prepare, but also packed with flavors and nutrients. The combination of soy sauce, tender chicken, and fresh vegetables makes for a satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
