Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook Rice Noodles (8 oz) according to the directions on the package, drain, rinse, and set aside.
step 2
Meanwhile, combine Fish Sauce (2 Tbsp), Rice Vinegar (2 Tbsp), 2 Tbsp of Lime (1), Honey (3 Tbsp), Water (2 Tbsp), and Sriracha (1 tsp) in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
step 3
Heat the Canola Oil (1/4 cup) in a large, deep skillet or wok set over medium-high heat. Pat the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (2) dry with a paper towel, season lightly with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and add to the pan.
step 4
Cook, tossing occasionally until lightly browned and just cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
step 5
Add Mixed Vegetables (1 cup) and Scallion (1 bunch) to the pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes.

step 6
Turn the heat to medium-low. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2) to the opposite side, and tilt the pan so the eggs don’t mix with the vegetables, scramble them with a wooden spoon or fork. Cook until the eggs are set, stirring occasionally, then mix with the vegetables, breaking up any large pieces of egg.
step 7
Return the chicken to the pan, along with the cooked noodles, about 3/4 of the sauce, the Bean Sprouts (1 cup), and Dry Roasted, Unsalted Peanuts (1/3 cup). Cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes, tossing until the sauce is slightly thickened and absorbed by the noodles.
