  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    3. Stir-fry the vegetables:

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the red bell pepper and carrot. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
    4. Make the sauce:

    In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes, lime juice, rice vinegar, and water until well combined.
    5. Combine the ingredients:
  5. 5
    Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the sauce. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
    6. Toss with noodles and basil:

    Add the cooked noodles into the skillet and toss to combine everything. Once well mixed, stir in the Thai basil leaves until they begin to wilt from the heat of the dish.
    7. Serve:

    Plate the noodle bowl and garnish with extra basil leaves or lime wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
Note

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat to prevent the noodles from becoming too soft.

Substitute options: You can substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein. Adjust the chili flakes to your preference for spice.

Optional garnishes: Add chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for extra crunch.
