Ingredients

Noodles

  • 1 package (8 oz) rice stick noodles
  • 4 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts

    In wok or large heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add chicken and soy sauce; stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes longer until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to plate; cover to keep warm.

    In wok, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add eggs; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until scrambled and firm. Add softened noodles, sauce and chicken. Cook 2 minutes. Add bean sprouts; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, stirring frequently, until noodles are tender and sprouts are no longer crisp.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Beef, pork or shrimp can be substituted for the chicken.
  • tip 2
    If you can’t find fish sauce, substitute 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon dry sherry.
  • tip 3
    When using fresh bean sprouts in a recipe, be sure to cook them thoroughly; don’t eat them raw.
  • tip 4
    Lime wedges and julienned carrots also make a nice garnish.
