 Cook the rice noodles.

The rice noodles, or bihon, should be soaked in warm water for ten to fifteen minutes, or until they are tender. After draining, set aside.

Cook the Fragrances:

In a big pan or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the onion slices after sautéing the minced garlic until it turns golden brown and aromatic. Sauté the onion until it turns transparent.

Add Veggies:

To the pan, add the sliced green beans and the finely chopped carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for two to three minutes, or until they are crisp but still slightly soft.

Prepare the chicken:

After pushing the veggies to one side of the pan, add the chicken breast that has been shredded. Stir-fry for a short while until the chicken is well cooked.

Add some spice.

Add the fish sauce (patis), soy sauce, and chicken broth. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to suit your taste. Heat the mixture until it boils.

Add the noodles (rice):

Add the drained and soaked rice noodles (bihon) to the pan after the broth reaches a boiling point. Stir gently to incorporate the chicken and veggies. Cook the noodles for a further three to five minutes, or until they are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
