Ingredients

400 grams rice noodles
600 grams chicken mince preferably from thigh
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon ginger finely diced
1 stalk lemon grass
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup lime juice Approximately 1 lime
1 tablespoon sugar organic raw or palm sugar
1/2 cup chopped coriander
chili flakes to serve optional

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the stir fry ingredients. Peel and finely dice or grate the ginger, and finely chop the lemongrass. Wash and chop the coriander.
In a small jar or bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Shake or stir until well mixed.
Heat olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced ginger and lemongrass, frying for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the chicken mince to the wok and increase the heat to high. Stir-fry the chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked and all the juices have evaporated.
Pour the lime-fish sauce mixture over the cooked chicken and stir quickly to combine, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Stir in the chopped coriander, mix well, and remove from heat.
Serve the chicken stir fry over the cooked rice noodles and enjoy!

Notes

Prep Ahead: Prep all your ingredients before starting to cook. This includes chopping vegetables, measuring sauces, and having your chicken mince ready. Stir fry cooks quickly, so being organized is important.

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If you're making a large batch, consider cooking the chicken mince in batches. Overcrowding can lower the pan's temperature, leading to steaming rather than stir-frying.

Storing Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on the stove over low heat to avoid overcooking the chicken.
