Ingredients

8.8 oz rice vermicelli dried kind
½ lb chicken thighs or chicken breast
2 cups bean sprouts rinsed and strained
1.5 cups baby bok choy ends trimmed, rinsed & strained (or chopped napa cabbage, yu choy sum or baby gai-lan)
2 large eggs beaten
2 green onion finely chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Chicken Marinade

¾ tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
2 teaspoon regular soy sauce
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
1 teaspoon white granulated sugar

Noodle Sauce

2 tablespoon sweet soy sauce or dark soy sauce with 2 teaspoon sugar mixed in
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
½ tablespoon white granulated sugar
½ tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup water cold

Instructions

Slice chicken thighs or chicken breast against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces. Transfer chicken slices to a large bowl and add marinade ingredients as listed above. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, soak vermicelli rice noodles in hot boiling water for 1-2 minutes max until noodles are loosened, limp and slightly softened.
Strain the noodles and rinse under cold water to remove excess water. Shake out any excess liquids and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine noodle sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry marinated chicken until 75% cooked. Then toss in garlic and green onions and fry for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble with the other ingredients.
Next toss in bok choy and bean sprouts. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 2 minutes.
Toss in the noodles with the noodle sauce with other ingredients. Use a pair of clean kitchen scissors to cut them if they are too long to mix. Remove off heat and enjoy!
