Ingredients

8

cups water

4

oz uncooked rice stick noodles (from 8-oz package)

2

tablespoons soy sauce

1

tablespoon sugar

1/2

teaspoon curry powder

1

teaspoon chili garlic sauce

1/2

cup water

2

tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2

lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1/4

teaspoon salt

1

red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (about 2 cups)

1/4

lb sugar snap peas, thinly sliced on the bias (about 1 1/4 cups)

6

green onions, greens and whites separated, thinly sliced on the bias

Preparation

In large microwavable bowl, place 8 cups water. Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 5 minutes or until boiling. Soak noodles in hot water until softened, about 8 minutes; drain. Using scissors, cut noodles into 4-inch pieces; set aside.

In small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, curry powder and chili garlic sauce. Stir in 1/2 cup water.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken; sprinkle with salt, and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned on both sides. Add bell pepper, peas and green onion whites. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften and begin to brown on edges and chicken is no longer pink in center.

Add soy sauce mixture and drained noodles to skillet; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce is absorbed. Stir in green onion greens. Divide mixture among 4 plates.
