2 garlic cloves
6g
1 stalk celery
130g
1 red pepper
80g
6 chicken thighs
600g
1/3 cup peanuts

2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice Noodles:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves soaking them in hot water for about 5-10 minutes until they are soft, then draining and setting them aside.
2. Prep the Ingredients:
- While the noodles are soaking, mince the garlic cloves, thinly slice the celery stalk and red pepper, and cut the chicken thighs into thin strips. Roughly chop the peanuts and set them aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced celery and red pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fish sauce, salsa sauce, and lime juice. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Add the Noodles and Peanuts:
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine with the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
- Sprinkle the roughly chopped peanuts over the top, stirring to incorporate.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Rice Noodles with Chicken & Peanuts!
