2 Carrots - peeled and sliced

  • Turn heat up to med- high and add chicken to pan and cook chicken until it is about half way cooked, 3-4 minutes.  Mix frequently.
  • Add garlic mix well.
  • Add drained rice noodles.  Continue to mix ingredients for another minute.
  • Add Asian Ginger Dressing and chicken stock.  Noodles will begin to clump together slightly and begin to soften.
