Ingredients

½ cup rice wine vinegar

½ cup white sugar

¼ cup oyster sauce

2 tablespoons tamarind pulp

1 (12 ounce) package dried rice noodles

cold water, as needed

½ cup peanut oil

4 eggs

1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic

12 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 ½ tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 ½ cups dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts

1 ½ teaspoons dried ground Asian radish

1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

½ cup chopped fresh chives

2 cups fresh bean sprouts

1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Whisk together rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, oyster sauce, and tamarind pulp in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.

Place rice noodles in a large bowl and pour enough cold water to cover noodles. Allow to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir eggs and garlic in hot oil until eggs are softly cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir chicken and noodles into eggs and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

Pour rice wine vinegar sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt into the noodle mixture.

Stir peanuts, ground radish, and chili powder into noodle mixture; cook until peanuts soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add more sugar or chili powder if desired.

Remove from heat and toss chives with noodle mixture. Top with bean sprouts and garnish with lime wedges.
