			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve tried this recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Asian-Noodles-Deliciously-Simple-Dishes/dp/0688131344/">Asian Noodles</a> twice now. It&#8217;s not bad, but the first time it came out too salty. The second time I reduced the soy a lot and the fish sauce a little, and it came out a little fish saucy. Like the <a href="http://food.perkowitz.net/2009/06/pad-thai/">pad thai</a> recipe though, it&#8217;s pretty good and pretty easy, so we&#8217;re going to keep tweaking it until we get it right. I also substituted carrots and celery for the red bell pepper, because we&#8217;re not big on peppers around here. Finally, I also left out the hot chili, since we usually make things milder and add heat individually as desired.</p>
<h3>Ingredients</h3>
<p><i>Marinade</i><br />
3 tbsp fish sauce<br />
1.5 tbsp Chinese rice wine<br />
1.5 tbsp minced shallots</p>
<p><i>Sauce</i><br />
4 tbsp fish sauce<br />
2 tbsp soy sauce<br />
5 tbsp water<br />
1.5 tbsp sugar<br />
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper</p>
<p><i>Other ingredients</i><br />
1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced 1/4&#8243; thick<br />
2.5 tbsp safflower or corn oil<br />
2 tbsp chopped garlic<br />
1 stalk celery, sliced<br />
1 large carrot, sliced<br />
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced<br />
6 oz thin rice stick noodles, prepared, rinsed, and drained<br />
1.5 c thai basil, coarsely chopped</p>
<h3>Directions</h3>
<p>Combine the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken, tossing to coat. Set aside while chopping and preparing the other ingredients and mixing the sauce. Heat a wok or large pot (even a 12&#8243; skillet is a little small) on high and add the oil. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, and onion and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add the chicken and stir-fry until the meat is no longer pink. Mix well and cook until the chicken is just cooked through. Add the sauce and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the noodles and stir until they absorb the sauce. Remove from heat, add the basil, and mix well. Serve.</p>
