Ingredients:

  • 4 oz rice noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ lb chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp tamarind paste
  • ¼ cup chopped peanuts

  • ¼ cup coriander, chopped
  • bean sprouts (optional)
  • lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Soak rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes.
  2. In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Push chicken to the side of the pan and add eggs. Scramble until cooked.
  4. Add soaked noodles, fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste to the pan and toss to combine.

Quicker Variant:

You can skip the eggs and rice noodles and it makes it a loss less complicated, time consuming, and pots-and-pans consuming - and just end up with some tasty chicken!
