By khojnicki

Ingredients

• 4 oz. rice noodles
• Kosher salt
• 4 oz. green beans, cut on a diagonal, 1/4" thick
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, half, cut in half and then in 1/4" slices
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp minced fresh red or green serrano chile
• 2 oz. white or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp chicken broth
• 1/4 c roughly chopped fresh basil
• 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles as directed on the package. Meanwhile, prep the rest of the ingredients. Bring a small pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch until crisp-tender, 30-60 seconds. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking.

Once the noodles are drained, heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic, stir and immediately add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fish sauce, ginger, sugar and chile. Add the mushrooms and stir fry 1-2 mins. Add green beans and noodles. Add some chicken broth if more sauce is needed. Transfer to a platter and garnish with basil, mint and lime.
