Ingredients

2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 lb ground chicken
3 cloves of garlic, diced
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
4 tablespoon tamari (gluten free) or soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
2 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce

1 14 oz package of rice noodles
½ - 1 cup thai basil leaves, torn
2 tablespoon chopped peanuts, optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, oyster sauce, tamari, honey and Thai sweet chili sauce. Whisk well and set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and break it up and stir as it cooks. Continue to cook a few minutes. Add the garlic and peppers and sauce.
Bring the sauce to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce gets thicker.
Meanwhile cook the rice noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
Add the basil leaves to the chicken and stir. Serve over the rice noodles and add more basil or chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

Be sure to use tamari if you are gluten free. Soy sauce contains gluten.
