HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.

02

Cook vermicelli noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.

03

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced lemongrass, garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

04

Add marinated chicken to the skillet, discarding any excess marinade. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

05

Add sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

06

Add the cooked and drained vermicelli noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to combine and heat through, about 1-2 minutes.

07

Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped roasted peanuts before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger. Ensure your wok or skillet is hot enough for a good stir-fry to achieve the best texture for the chicken and vegetables.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs; adjust cooking time as needed to prevent drying out. Broccoli florets or snap peas can replace bell pepper or carrot for variety. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with firm tofu, pressed and cubed, then pan-fried until golden before adding to the stir-fry.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to prevent the noodles from drying out.
