One Pot Thai-Style Rice Noodles

"Chicken, vegetables, and noodles prepared in a light tasting but full-flavored Asian-inspired sauce."
Ingredients

    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 1/2 tablespoons water
    6 cups chicken broth
    2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 tablespoon fish sauce
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha(R)), or more to taste
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 (16 ounce) package thick rice noodles
    1 cup sliced zucchini
    1 cup sliced red bell pepper
    2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
    1/4 cup crushed peanuts (optional)
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

    Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour chicken broth into a large pot and stir cornstarch mixture, soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and coriander into broth. Cover and bring to a boil.
    Place rice noodles in the boiling sauce, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until noodles are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir zucchini, red bell pepper, and chicken into sauce. Bring back to a boil, cover, and simmer until vegetables are just become tender, about 5 more minutes.
    Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to thicken. Serve garnished with crushed peanuts and cilantro.
