Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces thick rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rice wine or brown rice vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, very thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces ground chicken
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled and minced
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 4 leaves bibb
  • ¼ cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Thai basil, chopped
  • 2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced, for garnish

What You Need at Home: Mixing bowls, Grill pan, Kosher salt, Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare noodles: prepare a bowl of boiling water, then submerge noodles and let soak until softened, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.

  2. Make sauce and prep vegetables: While the noodles soak, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Set aside. Slice the bell pepper, dice the carrots, and mince the garlic and ginger.

  3. Cook chicken: Heat a large pan with 1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon.

  4. Cook Vegetables: Add the carrots, garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar and scrape up all the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.

  5. Finish Cooking Chicken: Pour in hoisin sauce and add chicken back to pan. Stir together to coat chicken. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Serve in lettuce cups.

  6. Stir Fry Noodles: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in another large pan. Add noodles and bell peppers, and stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with soy sauce dressing, peanuts and Thai basil.
