Drunken noodles

Directions

1. Soak the rice noodles according to the package. Hint: you should fill a bowl of very hot water (from the faucet, not boiling) and soak the noodles until they are soft. If you use boiling water, the noodles will get too soft. Keep the noodles in the hot water until you are ready to start making the dish. You may also want to cut the noodles as sometimes they become too long.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add the minced/chopped garlic and chilies until it becomes fragrant. Constantly stir the mixture to ensure that it doesn’t burn. This should take 30 seconds. Add the chicken, green peppers and onion. Add a few tablespoons of water to moisten as needed

3. When the meat has browned and is more than halfway cooked, add the noodles and tomatoes. Add the soy sauces, sugar and oyster sauce. Stir well to mix. The noodles will take about 3-4 minutes to soften.

4. Add the basil & vinegar. Stir to mix. When the basil is wilted, the noodles are ready to serve.
