Thai Flat Noodles


Ingredients
Flat Thai Rice Noodles - You can find this in a grocery store
Onions - One medium size onion
Garlic - 2 to 3 cloves
Ginger - small piece of ginger
Soy Sauce (Low Sodium) - 2 tbsps
Salt to taste
White Sesame Seeds - 2 tsps
Oil - 2 to 3 tsps
Thai hot sauce - 2 to 3 tsps
Stir Fry Vegetables - I used half a packet of frozen Asian stir fry veggies
Chicken - a few strips of precooked chicken. If precooked chicken is not available cut the chicken breast into small pieces

If a packet of the frozen stir fry veggies is not available cut thin long pieces of vegetables like Green Beans, Celery, Baby Corn, Snow Peas, Bamboo shoots etc

Preparation
Take a deep pot and fill it with hot hot water. To this hot water add the noodles from the packet (depending on how much you need) and keep it aside for 30 minutes. The noodles will get cooked in the hot water and will finally be cooked in the wok later.

Take a Wok (or a deep pan) and pour the oil and heat it. Add the sesame seeds to it and fry till it becomes brown. Cut the onion into strips and keep it aside. If the chicken is not precooked, then fry the chicken pieces in the oil till the pieces turn white. Add the onions, garlic and ginger to the mix and pour the soy sauce in the wok. Now add the frozen vegetables and the hot sauce to the mix and let it cook for a few minutes. If needed add salt to it, check before you add salt since soy sauce will already have salt in it.

After the vegetables are cooked, add the noodles and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes over a low flame. Take it off the heat, serve and enjoy!
