Savor the Ultimate Thai-Inspired One-Pot Rice Noodles Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of cornstarch
• 1 ½ tbsp of water
• 6 cups of chicken broth
• 2 ½ tbsp of soy sauce
• 1 tbsp of fish sauce
• 1 tbsp of rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp of chile-garlic sauce, adjust to your liking
• 2 tsp of vegetable oil
• 2 tsp of freshly minced ginger
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tsp of ground coriander
• A package of thick rice noodles (16 oz)
• Slices of zucchini, about 1 cup
• Slices of red bell pepper, about 1 cup
• 2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed into 1-inch pieces
• Crushed peanuts, if desired, around ¼ cup
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, optional, approximately ¼ cup

Step 1

Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth and velvety. In a large pot, pour in the chicken broth and blend in the cornstarch mixture, soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and coriander. Cover the pot and bring the delightful concoction to a lively boil.

Step 2

Drop the rice noodles into the bubbling sauce, then lower the heat to a medium flame and let it simmer until the noodles reach a tender perfection, which usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes. Gently stir in the zucchini, red bell pepper, and chicken into the fragrant sauce. Allow it to come to a boil again, then cover the pot and simmer until the veggies are just tender, typically for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 3

Once ready, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken beautifully. Serve this delectable dish garnished with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and color.
