What to prepare for dinner with a small amount of vegetables, chicken, and a few Asian sauces? Rice noodles with vegetables! Recently, we bought rice noodles to try and thought for a long time about what interesting to make with them. We also had unagi sauce that had been languishing in the fridge for almost a month, so the recipe came together by itself. In the future, we will buy a wok pan and try to prepare this dish in a more Asian style. For now, we share our creativity ;)

Heat a thick-bottomed pan, add a small amount of oil, and fry over high heat until a light golden crust forms (something similar to the stir-fry technique). Set the chicken aside on a plate.

Cut the onion into half rings, crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, and chop them. Add a little more oil to the pan, add the onion and garlic, and fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Next, while each ingredient is frying, we will cut the vegetables into small strips. That is, we will have a continuous process of cutting and frying. The photos vividly demonstrate this:
At the same time as these two processes, we put water to boil for the rice noodles. When we added and mixed the mushrooms, it was time to add spices to the vegetables. This is unagi and soy sauce. It will give the dish saltiness, so we intentionally did not mention salt in the recipe. You can add it if you prefer a saltier taste.

Practically immediately, we return the chicken to the pan and thoroughly mix all the ingredients.

At this moment, the water in our pot has boiled. We place the rice noodles in it and cook for 4 minutes. After that, we drain them in a colander, rinse with cold water, and add them to the pan with the vegetables and chicken.

Pour in the milk, mix thoroughly, and fry for another 4 minutes.

During this time, finely chop the green onions, slice the red pepper, and toast the sesame seeds in a small dry pan. Fry them without adding any fat, just for a few seconds until a light golden color appears.

We place the noodles with vegetables and chicken in a deep plate, sprinkle with onions and sesame, add pepper, and place a few lime wedges. Squeeze the lime juice, mix thoroughly, and enjoy a true feast of flavors!
