Rice Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables

Tasty rice noodles with chicken breast and vegetables. This Korean-style stir-fry is truly authentic only when you follow every detail — from the cookware to the choice of seasonings to how it's plated. That said, adapt it to your own taste and serve it to the family, and no one will be disappointed. They might not even tell it apart from ordinary spaghetti — though the aroma does give the rice noodles away.

  • Rice noodles are made from rice flour; they're sometimes called glass noodles or cellophane noodles. They're especially rich in B vitamins and also supply minerals like iron, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, copper, and selenium. Another plus: they're naturally free of gluten — a grain protein that's a common allergen — though you should always double-check the packaging to be sure.
