Rice stick noodles, which need only softening in hot water, keep the recipe easy.

Ingredients

Packaged rice noodles

2 oz

Reduced sodium chicken broth

½ cup(s)

Less sodium soy sauce

1 Tbsp

Cornstarch

1 Tbsp

Fish sauce

1 tsp, Thai variety

Dark sesame oil

½ tsp

Crushed red pepper flakes

¼ tsp

Canola oil

1 Tbsp

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

5 oz, cut into strips

Scallions

3 medium, thinly sliced

Fresh ginger

1 Tbsp, fresh, peeled and grated

Garlic

2 clove(s), minced

Uncooked zucchini

1 medium, sliced

Carrots

5 oz, matchstick-cut carrots (1 cup)

Snow peas

¼ pound(s), halved

Uncooked shrimp

8 oz, package frozen cooked salad variety, thawed

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Remove from the heat; add the noodles and soak until softened, 5–6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Combine the broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, fish sauce, sesame oil, and crushed pepper in small bowl; set aside.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, 2–3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside. Add the scallions, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add zucchini, carrots, and snow peas; stir-fry until crisp-tender, 3–4 minutes. Add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in the shrimp, chicken, and noodles. Cook, tossing frequently, until heated through, about 1 minute. Yields 1 1/4 cup per serving.
