Crazy Chicken - Rice Noodle Stir-Fry image

This is chef Ming Tsai's take on a traditional Thai dish. It's called crazy because of it's spiciness. You can always decrease the amount of sambal oelek if you don't like dishes too spicy (or increase it if you like it really spicy!). This recipe is perfect for a busy night. It's quick and simple to prepare. If you want to make this a one dish meal, I think you could probably stir-fry in some broccoli or peas, etc. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces transparent rice noodles (rice sticks)
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 shallots, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup scallion, green and white parts, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup Thai basil, cut into 1/3 inch ribbons (you can use regular basil)
1 lime, quartered, for garnish (optional)
4 sprigs Thai basil, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill up a large bowl with warm water. Add the noodles and soak them until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While the noodles are soaking, you can combine the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and sambal - in a small bowl. Stir until dissolved.
  • Heat up a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  • Add the shallots and stir-fry until brown - about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken and stir-fry, breaking up the meat, until cooked through - about 3 minutes or so.
  • Add the noodles and sauce mixture and heat through, stirring.
  • Add the scallions and basil ribbons and give them a toss.
  • Garnish (opt.) with the lime wedges and basil sprigs and serve immediately.
