Cooking Instructions
1.
In a cast iron or heavy-bottom pan, add approximately an 1/4 inch of oil and heat to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Once hot, gently drop a handful of the
Rice Noodles (2 oz)
, pulled apart, into the oil. Quickly flip them once they have puffed - it will only take seconds for them to cook.
2.
Remove the rice sticks and allow them to drain on a paper towel. Continue cooking the remaining rice sticks in this fashion.
3.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of
Canola Oil (as needed)
. Add the
Ground Chicken (1 lb)
and sauté until cooked through.
4.
Season with
Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
. Remove the chicken and set aside to rest. Keep remaining oil in the pan.
5.
To prepare the stir-fry sauce, mix
Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (4 Tbsp)
,
Rice Vinegar (2 Tbsp)
,
Sesame Oil (1 Tbsp)
,
Brown Sugar (3 Tbsp)
,
Chinese Hot Mustard (1 Tbsp)
and
Corn Starch (1 tsp)
in a medium bowl.
6.
Stir until the ingredients are incorporated and set aside.
7.
Reheat the pan you used to cook the chicken, adding more oil if needed. Add the
Garlic (1 clove)
Scallions (1 bunch)
,
Water Chestnuts (1 cup)
, and
Shiitake Mushrooms (8)
. Sauté about 3 minutes or until warmed through.
8.
Add the stir fry sauce to the pan and sauté for several more minutes.
9.
To prepare the dipping sauce, combine
Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (4 Tbsp)
,
Rice Vinegar (2 Tbsp)
,
Sesame Oil (4 tsp)
, and
Granulated Sugar (4 tsp)
in a heavy saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves (do not let it boil).
10.
Remove the pan from heat and add
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp)
. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Once cool, add minced
Garlic (1 1/2 cloves)
,
Worcestershire Sauce (3 Tbsp)
, and
Fresh Ginger (1 Tbsp)
.

Gently pull off the leaves of the
Iceberg Lettuce (1 head)
and serve with the chicken, crispy rice sticks, dipping sauce, and extra Chinese hot mustard. Enjoy!
