Mom, I know you are not a huge fan of Asian food, but this one was pretty good and relatively easy. It took me a little longer than the 30 minutes the recipe called for. It took me a while to chop the vegetables, and I definitely still need a little practice using the wok.
Ingredients:
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz) dried rice vermicelli (I have no idea how much we used....I just bought the only box they had. I have a feeling it was too much though. We had a LOT of noodles.)
- oil, for cooking
- 500 g (1 lb, 2 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut up into strips (I used the tenderloins and basically just cut them in half from there.)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (I chopped them.)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons Asian-style curry powder (I only had regular curry powder, not sure what the difference is.)
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 red pepper,thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, cut up into matchsticks
- 2 zucchini, cut up into matchsticks
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Vegetable and noodles before:
Directions:
1. Place vermicelli in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and soak for 5 minutes. Drain well and place on a tea towel (dish towel) to dry.
2. Heat the wok until very hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl it around to coat the sides. Stir-fry the chicken in batches over high heat until browned and tender. Remove all the chicken and drain on paper towels.
3. Reheat the wok, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and stir-fry the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and onion for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. (I have to say, smelled pretty fragrant even before putting it in the wok!) Add the pepper, carrot, and zucchini to the wok, and stir-fry for one minute.
4. Add the drained noodles and chicken to the wok. Add the soy sauce and toss well. Season with salt before serving.

It says that it serves 4, but Andrew and I had pretty sizable portions for 3 days straight. And, there is still a little left. Like I said, I think I may have used too many noodles, but it still tasted pretty good. However, all the nutritional information might be off. :-D
Cooked noodles and final dish!
This sounded really really yummy! You're right....a lot of noodles!
