How to Make Spicy Thai Basil Chicken Noodle Stir Fry

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces dried rice noodles, stir to separate, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1-2 red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 15 seconds, or until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces, 1/2 cup sliced carrots, and 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Pour in the fish sauce mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  6. Add 1/2 cup fresh Thai basil leaves. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until basil is wilted.
  7. Add the cooked rice noodles and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra basil and lime wedges (optional).
