Rice Noodles with Zucchini and Chicken

A gentle dish of soft rice noodles seasoned with soy sauce and curry. The noodles come out tasty and wonderfully fragrant, and everything cooks up fast. Use whatever vegetables you like — carrots, napa cabbage, or mushrooms all work well. If you're not a fan of a strong soy-sauce flavor, you can leave it out; just be sure to season everything with salt instead.

    Step 14:

  • Start by soaking the rice noodles in cold water (I followed the cooking directions on the noodle package — cook yours according to their instructions). Cut all the vegetables into thin strips; again, use whatever vegetables you like. Slice the chicken into strips as well. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet (use a wok if you have one — unfortunately, I don't) and stir-fry the vegetables and chicken separately over high heat. If you're adding soy sauce, there's no need to salt anything. Fry the chicken in small batches: if it's crowded in the pan, it releases its juices and starts to steam rather than sear. Cook each ingredient for 2–3 minutes; that's plenty of time as long as everything is sliced thin. Once everything is fried, add a minced garlic clove and a teaspoon of curry powder (a level spoonful or to taste) to the pan, stir, then add back the vegetables and chicken. Meanwhile, drain the water from the noodles (you can also cut the noodles so they're easier to eat and toss). Add the noodles to the pan, toss everything together, pour in the soy sauce, stir, cover with a lid, and let the noodles soak up the vegetable juices for 4–5 minutes over low heat. The dish is ready — enjoy!
