Ingredients
– 7 oz (200g) wide dried rice noodles
– 2 tablespoons oil (peanut, vegetable, or canola)
– 3 large cloves garlic minced
– 2 birds eye or Thai chilies deseeded and finely chopped
– Half an onion sliced
– 7 oz (200g) chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce
– 2 green onions cut into 2-inch pieces
– 1 cup fresh Thai or Holy Basil leaves
– 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 ½ tablespoons light soy sauce
– 1 ½ tablespoons dark soy sauce
– 2 teaspoons sugar
– 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1-Prepare all ingredients by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes until softened, then drain. This step ensures the noodles don’t clump together.
2-Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add minced garlic and Thai red chilies, stir-frying for 30 seconds to release their aromas.
3-Add your choice of protein, such as chicken, and cook until just done, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4-Toss in the sliced vegetables like onions and cook for 1-2 minutes to keep them crunchy.
5-Add the drained noodles along with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar; stir-fry quickly to coat everything evenly.
6-Stir in fresh Thai basil leaves and cook for another minute until they wilt.
7-Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

🍜 Use the widest available dried rice noodles for the most authentic texture and mouthfeel
🌶️ Adjust the amount of Thai chilies to suit your spice preference – add more for extra heat or remove seeds for milder flavor
🌿 Fresh Thai basil provides the most authentic flavor, but regular basil can work in a pinch if Thai basil isn’t available
