Sweet Chili Chicken With Asian Vegetable Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, then add a small handful of salt. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and toss to coat.
• While the noodles cook, in a medium bowl, mix the cucumber, onion and jalapeno with the 1/4 cup rice vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the sweet chili sauce with the soy sauce, cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon of the rice vinegar. In a large cast-iron skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili sauce mixture and cook until the chicken is glazed, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the noodles to bowls and top with the chicken. Serve with the pickled vegetables and basil leaves.
