Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 8 ounces dried rice noodles
  • 0.25 cup oyster sauce
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup shallots, thinly sliced
  • 6 teaspoons chile padi (bird's eye chiles), thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips
  • 1 pound Chinese broccoli, sliced
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves

Instructions

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Soak rice noodles in hot water until flexible, 10 to 15 minutes. Occasionally move the noodles around to separate them. Drain the water and cover with a wet paper towel.
  • Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, Asian fish sauce, maple syrup, sugar, and water in a small bowl.
  • Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok, or large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Stir-fry shallots, chile peppers, and garlic until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Move the mixture around the outside of the pan to create a space and add chicken. Sear for 1 minute, then combine with shallot mixture.
  • Add Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry until tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add Chinese broccoli leaves and stir-fry until wilted.
  • Add drunken noodle sauce and sliced green onions and mix. Cook until sauce begins to simmer.
  • Add soaked rice noodles and toss to coat until noodles have absorbed the sauce and are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in Thai basil leaves until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve.
