Crispy Potato Filled Pastries

Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour the chicken broth into a large pot, then whisk in the cornstarch mixture along with the soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and coriander. Cover the pot and bring everything to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, add the rice noodles to the sauce. Turn the heat down to medium and let it simmer until the noodles are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, red bell pepper, and chicken, then bring it back to a gentle boil. Cover again and cook until the veggies are just tender, around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Take the pot off the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes so the sauce can thicken up a bit. Serve it up with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro on top.

Serving Suggestions

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to loosen the noodles and keep them from drying out.
