Pepper's Drunken Noodles
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
5 bird's eye chili peppers
4-5 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons light soy sauce (or more regular soy sauce)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 small onion, diced
4 spring onion greens, sliced (or scallions)
1 cup lightly packed Thai basil leaves (or any variety of fresh basil)
5 ounces fresh pad see ew rice noodles (less than half a bag)
Salt to taste
Directions
- Combine the chicken and soy sauce in a bowl and toss to thoroughly coat the chicken. Set aside to marinate briefly.
- Lightly mash together the chilies and garlic using a mortar and pestle or the back of a chef’s knife; the more you mash them, the spicier the mix will be. Heat the oil in a large, high-sided pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the chili-garlic mixture. Sauté, stirring often, until aromatic (be careful not to burn the garlic), 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken and sauté, stirring, until just about cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the noodles from the package, gently un-peel them, and add to the pan along with the chicken. Add the light soy sauce and toss to coat. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until lightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the spring onion greens, basil, and a pinch of salt, and toss to thoroughly combine everything. Remove from the heat and serve.
