Crazy Chicken Rice Noodle Stir Fry

This is chef ming tsai's take on a traditional thai dish. It's called crazy because of it's spiciness. You can always decrease the amount of sambal oelek if you don't like dishes too spicy (or increase it if you like it really spicy!)! . This recipe is perfect for a busy night. It's quick and simple to prepare. If you want to make this a one dish meal, i think you could probably stir-fry in some broccoli or peas, etc. Enjoy!!

Steps

Fill up a large bowl with warm water.

Add the noodles and soak them until they are tender , about 20 minutes.
