Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 8 ounces Mai fun (thin rice noodles)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Carrots, julienned
• 1 unit Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for the noodles)
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the mai fun noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 6

In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add julienned carrots and red bell peppers, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 7

Add the prepared mai fun noodles to the skillet, followed by soy sauce and oyster sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles in the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in bean sprouts and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.

Step 9

To serve, plate the noodles, top with grilled hoisin chicken slices, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
