In a large bowl, soak the rice noodles in warm water (about 100°F/38°C) for 60 minutes, then drain.

3. Step
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
