Asian Peanut Noodles with Chicken
Description
Asian Peanut Noodles with Chicken begins by simmering a peanut sauce composed of chicken broth, peanut butter, sriracha chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. This mixture becomes smooth and well-blended for a creamy, spicy sauce. Rice noodles are cooked separately to al dente.
Chicken breast strips are seasoned with salt, pepper, sriracha, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, then quickly sautéed until cooked through. Fresh vegetables including green onions, shredded carrots, broccoli slaw, and bean sprouts are briefly stir-fried until tender-crisp, preserving texture.
The noodles are drained and tossed with the peanut sauce, with added broth if needed to loosen. The cooked chicken is combined with the noodles, and the sautéed vegetables and bean sprouts are arranged on top. Chopped peanuts sprinkle the dish for crunch, with lime slices and optional cilantro garnish finishing the presentation.
