Cooking Instructions

1 hr
  1. 1

    Soak the rick sticks in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    In the meantime -- in a large pot over medium heat, add the oil and sauté the onion for 4 - 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and bay leaf, mix well and cook for 1 minute more.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken and stir fry for a few minutes until the pink is almost gone. (It will continue to cook after the liquid is added.)

  5. 5

    Pour in the stock, soy sauce, and lemon juice (plus a sprinkle of scallions) mix together well and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Add drained rice noodle, mix together gently, trying not to break the noodle.

  7. 7

    Cover pot, lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes,

  8. 8

    Add shrimp, gently mix, allowing liquid to be absorbed by the noodle. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, checking often that the liquid is absorbing evenly. (Add more stock if noodles appear to be dry.)

  9. 9

    Continue to cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until noodle is tender but not overdone. Mix gently as needed to absorb the liquid.

  10. 10
