📖 Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin slices. Marinate with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of ginger (minced), and a pinch of black pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes! You can even prep this the night before.
2. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and chop your chosen vegetables. Some great options include carrots (thinly sliced), broccoli florets, snap peas, and shiitake mushrooms (sliced). If you're feeling adventurous, add some bok choy or gai lan!
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil (such as sesame or olive oil). Stir-fry the marinated chicken until it's fully cooked and slightly browned. Set aside.
4. Steam the Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Usually, this involves soaking them in hot water until they are soft and pliable. Don't overcook them, or they'll become mushy!
5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same wok or skillet, add another tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir-fry the chopped vegetables until they are tender-crisp. About 5-7 minutes should do the trick. Make sure to season with a little salt and pepper.
6. Make the Broth: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a dash of white pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Some ppl like to add a pinch of sugar to balence it out.

8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice. If you like a little heat, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy! I'm telling you, its so good!
9. Leftovers: Store any leftovers in separate containers so noodles doesn't absorve liquid. It can last for 2 to 3 days!
