Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz gluten-free noodles or rice noodles
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
- 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
For the Sauce
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the gluten-free noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain well and set aside.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
- Heat the Oil and Cook Chicken: Warm vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken and cook, stirring often, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 3 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp.
- Toss in Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles and prepared sauce mixture to the wok. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and ingredients evenly with the sauce.
- Heat Through: Continue cooking and tossing the mixture for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use tamari instead of regular soy sauce to maintain the dish’s gluten-free status.
- Feel free to incorporate leftover vegetables such as snap peas or broccoli for variety and extra nutrition.
