Infused with flavors from fish sauce, salsa, and lime juice, and complemented by fresh vegetables, this recipe is perfect for a delightful meal with an Asian twist.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Rice Noodles with Chicken & Peanuts!
