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

- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts sliced

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.
