Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 20 minutes or according to package instructions until they are softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, oyster sauce, dark brown sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.

Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of canola oil.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they are lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of canola oil followed by minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 8

Add the soaked rice noodles to the pan and toss them with the vegetables.

Step 9

Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything well to combine and coat evenly.

Step 10

Add the cooked chicken back to the pan, and stir in the bean sprouts and half of the green onions.

Step 11

Pour in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce slightly, and continue to toss until everything is heated through.
