Crispy Garlic Chicken Drunken Noodles (20-Minutes)
Quick-cooking rice noodles tossed in a sweet and spicy Thai chili sauce with chicken, bell peppers, and summer basil. It’s one big bowl of overly saucy noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Just like a dish you might find at your favorite Thai spot but made at home! Super yummy!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon tamari/soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sushi ginger chopped
- chili flakes
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts sliced
- 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 shallot sliced
- 2 bell peppers thinly sliced
- 4 scallions chopped
- 1 cup Thai or regular basil chopped
- sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- Combine 1/3 cup tamari/soy sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and chili flakes. Mix in 1/4 cup water.
- In a large skillet, toss the chicken with the flour. Add 2 tablespoons butter and set the skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon tamari/soy sauce, and the garlic. Cook another minute, then remove the chicken from the skillet.
- To the same skillet, add the shallot, bell peppers, and green onions. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the sauce, the noodles, and the chicken. Toss to combine, cooking another 3-5 minutes until the sauce coats the noodles. Mix in half the basil and remove from the heat.
- Serve the noodles warm, topped with the additional basil + sesame seeds.
