\n<\/em><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

– 4 ounces thick rice noodles
\n– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
\n– 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rice wine or brown rice vinegar
\n– \u00bd tablespoon fish sauce
\n– 3 tablespoons sesame oil
\n– 1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, very thinly sliced
\n– 12 ounces ground chicken
\n– 1 large carrot, diced
\n– 3 clovers garlic, minced
\n– 1 inch ginger, peeled and minced
\n– 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
\n– 4 leaves bibb
\n– \u00bc cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
\n– 3 tablespoons Thai basil, chopped
\n– 2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced, for garnish<\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prepare noodles: prepare a bowl of boiling water, then submerge noodles and let soak until softened, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.<\/p>\n

2. Make sauce and prep vegetables: While the noodles soak, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Set aside. Slice the bell pepper, dice the carrots, and mince the garlic and ginger.<\/p>\n

3. Cook chicken: Heat a large pan with 1 \u00bd tablespoons sesame oil. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon.<\/p>\n

4. Cook Vegetables: Add the carrots, garlic and ginger to the pan and saut\u00e9 over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar and scrape up all the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

5. Finish Cooking Chicken: Pour in hoisin sauce and add chicken back to pan. Stir together to coat chicken. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Serve in lettuce cups.<\/p>\n

6. Stir Fry Noodles: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in another large pan. Add noodles and bell peppers, and stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with soy sauce dressing, peanuts and Thai basil.<\/p>\n
