• Rice Noodle Cooking Directions:.
• Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
• Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
• Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
• Since these noodles will be used in the above dish, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry.
• Note: This whole recipe can be cut in half including the rice noodles.

THAI FRIED RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN OR TOFU (GLUTEN-FREE) RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken or tofu by pouring the cornstarch/soy sauce mixture over and stirring well. Set aside. Soak rice noodles in a pot of hot water 5 to 12 minutes, or just until noodles are soft enough to eat, but still firm and a little bit 'crunchy' (they will finish cooking later). Drain and briefly rinse noodles with cold water to keep from sticking. Set aside. Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients, mixing them together in a cup. Set aside. Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the garlic, ginger, chicken or tofu (together with the marinade), mushrooms, and a few tablespoons of stock. Stir-fry 5 minutes, or until chicken or mushrooms are cooked. When pan becomes dry, add a little more chicken stock, 1 t 2 tablespoons at a time - enough to keep the ingredients sizzling. Add red pepper and stir-fry another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the noodles plus stir-fry sauce. Using two utensils, lift and turn the noodles or use a tossing motion, like tossing a salad. Stir-fry in this way until the sauce is well distributed throughout the noodles (1 to 2 minutes). Add bean sprouts, continuing to stir-fry another minute. Remove from heat and taste-test for salt/flavor, adding 1 tablespoon more fish sauce or soy sauce if not salty enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime juice. To serve, lift noodles out of the wok or frying pan and mound on a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and garnish with wedges of fresh-cut limes. For those who like it spicy, serve with Thai Chili Sauce on the side, and ENJOY!
