Drunken Noodles

Tonight I tried to make a BFC version of one of my favorite Thai dishes.  It turned out really delicious!  If you do not have soba noodles, the chicken would be great over brown rice also.
One serving of the dish below has an S/C Value of  2/1, with 20 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fiber.

I served it with a simple spinach salad for some added fiber.


Drunken Noodles
Serves 4

4 ounces of soba noodles (I used organic Hakubaku brand from World Market.  It has 0 grams of sugar) 
1 lb chicken breasts, cut into small pieces 
2 serrano chilies, seeded and chopped 
tsp soy sauce 
2 cups fresh basil, ripped into large pieces 
1 tbsp fish sauce (found in the Asian food section 
2 tsp chopped garlic (I used jarred garlic) 
1 Tbsp canola oil 
1/2 tbsp red-chili paste (found in the Asian food section)
1 tsp Sugar in the Raw (1 packet)

1/2 tsp black pepper


Finely chop the garlic and chilies.  Combine and chop together until they make a paste.
Add oil to a skillet heated over medium-high heat.  Add the garlic-chili mixture and cook for about a minute.  . Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned (about 3-4 mins).

Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, red-chili paste, and sugar, and continue to cook until the chicken is done all the way through (about 5 mins).
Add the pepper and basil, and cook until the basil is wilted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
