Ingredients
  

  • 1 box leftover rice rolls (bánh cuốn) (or 1 pack fresh or dry noodles of your choice)

Mix Ins - Feel free to replace based on what you have available!

  • 1 lb chicken, sliced or cubed
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 sweet onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 0.5 bag bean sprouts
  • 4-5 green onions

Sauce (from Balance with Jess)

  • 2.5 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 0.5 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp siracha

Other

  • fish sauce, to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup
  • Slice or dice your chicken. Add 1.5 tbsp of the sauce and mix. Let marinate while you finish prep.
  • Mince the garlic. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Slice all but one of the green onions into 4ths. With the last green onion, thinly slice into small pieces for garnish.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of fish sauce.
  • If needed, reheat your rice rolls or noodles in the microwave. If using leftover rice rolls (bánh cuốn), slice them into smaller strips.

Stir Fry

  • In a wok or large pan, heat 1-2 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • Cook your chicken until browned and cooked through, mixing with wooden spoon or chopsticks. Remove from pan.
  • Add a little more oil if needed and add the eggs. Cook until slightly underdone, and then remove. They will finish cooking while they rest and/or when they are added back in later.
  • Add 1-2 tbsp of oil again to the hot wok. Add garlic and onions and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add bell peppers and cook until slightly soft.
  • Add sauce and noodles. Mix and cook for 1-2 minutes. Keep the heat high so that you can get some caramelization on the noodles with the sauce.
  • Add a dash of fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add more oyster sauce, soy sauce, or sugar to taste. Then add the chicken and eggs back in.
  • Mix, and then turn off heat.
  • Add big green onion slices and bean sprouts. Mix again.
  • Serve, garnish with small green onion, and enjoy!
