Instructions
Creating your Vietnamese Noodle Bowl with Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Noodles: Boil water in a large pot. Add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to package instructions (about 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sauté the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Vegetables: Toss in the carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes to warm the vegetables but retain their crunch.
6. Combine Noodles and Chicken: Add the cooked vermicelli noodles to the skillet. Drizzle the sesame oil over and toss everything together gently until well mixed.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and divide the noodle mixture into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro, mint, and lime wedges. Enjoy!
