Ingredients

8 cups water
1 (8 ounce) package dry flat rice noodles
½ cup fish sauce
⅔ cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons white sugar
⅓ cup oyster sauce
¼ cup chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
⅔ cup chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
⅔ cup vegetable oil
12 ounces edamame in the pod - thawed if frozen, shelled
12 green onions, sliced
1 cup finely diced eggplant
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces mushrooms, diced
1 (4 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 pound fresh bean sprouts
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup shredded carrot

Steps:

Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Turn off heat.
Place rice noodles into the hot water and soak for 20 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.
Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, oyster sauce, chile-garlic sauce, chicken stock, and 2 cloves minced garlic together in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer sauce while you prepare other ingredients.
Cook and stir chicken in a skillet with vegetable oil until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Stir shelled edamame, green onions, eggplant, 4 cloves minced garlic, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, cilantro, carrots, and cooked chicken into the same skillet, and cook and stir until eggplant and edamame are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
Serve over rice noodles.
