Delicious Chinese style chicken vermicelli! A rice noodle stir-fry recipe that’s easy to make and also packed full of flavour. Find out how to make this dish below! Let’s get cooking…
When it comes to making an easy and deliciously satisfying midweek dinner, my first choice is always going to be chicken vermicelli (or rice noodles as I also call it). It’s an amazing dish I know that everyone will love, and let me tell you why…
This noodle dish is one of those meals that you can put together in a matter of minutes, and it requires minimal effort to make! Overall, it’s a combination of easy and tasty, which is always going to be a winner in my eyes.
When it comes to the taste, there’s a savoury and slightly salty taste from the soy sauce which blends perfectly with the sweet notes from the carrots and other veggies. Altogether, this is one great tasting dish… and again, it’s so easy too!
Vermicelli Noodles
Rice vermicelli is a very fine type of noodle made from grounded rice. I’ve been eating and cooking rice noodles for many years, and I’ve always found it very quick to prep (one of the many reasons why I love cooking with it!).
They don’t need an intense cooking process as the texture is quite thin. All I do is boil the kettle and pour hot water over a bowl or tray with the noodles in it until it’s softened. This takes me around 5 to 8 minutes (depending on the temperature of the water).
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s customisable: This vermicelli stir fry is perfect for whatever you have in your fridge, whether it’s leftover chicken or veggies that are getting old. Literally, you can add whatever you want!
- You Can Prepare Ahead: All ingredients can be fully prepared ahead: the chicken, the veggies and even the rice noodles! This is one of my biggest tips, preparing by chopping your vegetables and pre-cooking your rice noodles will save you so much time.
- Simple To Make: So straightforward, uncomplicated and effortless; this dish is one of the easiest dishes you can make. It’s so easy to make just like my Singapore rice noodles dish.
Recipe Ingredients
Below are the few ingredients I used to make this recipe:
- Vermicelli Rice Noodles: No surprises here! I used dried vermicelli noodles which I rehydrated by soaking them in boiled water from my kettle.
- Chicken Breast: I used chicken breast cut into long strips. You don’t have to use chicken breast, you can use diced chicken thighs, beef or prawns instead.
- Vegetables: The vegetables I used were carrots, onions, chillies, spring onions, garlic and ginger. You can take out vegetables you don’t like and add in your favourite veggies. Vegetables like bean sprouts, green beans, cabbages and bell peppers work well in stir-fry dishes.
- Chinese Style Stir-Fry Sauce: This is made from dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil. This mixture is a popular basic stir-fry sauce that I always use in many noodle dishes.
