01
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it’s completely smooth. Pour the chicken broth into a large pot, then stir 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 pot. Turn the heat down to medium and let the noodles simmer until they’re tender, which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Next, toss in the zucchini, red bell pepper, and chicken. Bring the pot back to a gentle boil, cover it again, and cook until the veggies are just tender, around 5 more 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. When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro on top for a nice finish.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is perfect for busy days when you want something flavorful but fast. It combines fresh ingredients and bold Thai flavors all in one pot, making cleanup easy. Plus, it’s versatile and can be adjusted to your taste or what you have on hand.
How to serve
Serve with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro on top for extra crunch and freshness. A side of steamed or stir-fried vegetables pairs well to add more color and nutrients. You can also offer lime wedges for guests to squeeze over their bowls.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to loosen the noodles and keep them from drying out. Avoid freezing, as the noodles may become mushy after thawing.
