  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Large Wok or Large Deep Sauté Pan
  • 3 Meal Prep Containers

Ingredients
 
 

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 ¾ pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For the Stir Fry:

  • 14 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons oil use a high smoke point oil like avocado, canola, sunflower, or peanut oil
  • 1/2 ounce ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 4 ½ ounces broccoli about 1/2 head, cut into florets
  • 2 medium carrots julienned
  • cilantro chopped, for garnish

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 lime halved (use half for sauce and half for serving)
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes optional

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Set aside to marinate.

Prepare the Stir Fry Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Squeeze in the juice from half of the lime, reserving the other half for serving.

Cook the Rice Noodles:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

Stir Fry the Vegetables:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add sliced bell pepper, onions, broccoli, and carrots to the pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are al dente and slightly charred. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:

  • In the same pan, add the marinated chicken. Stir fry until the chicken is fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Ingredients:

  • Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the chicken. Pour in the prepared stir fry sauce and toss everything together for about 30 seconds to ensure the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.

Final Assembly:

  • Add the cooked noodles and chopped cilantro to the pan. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce and squeeze the remaining half lime over the dish. Garnish with more cilantro if desired.
